National Night Out helps neighborhoods fight back against crime

National Night Out (NNO), sponsored by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TOWN WATCH, is a neighborhood crime and drug prevention event that occurs annually on the first Tuesday in August and is celebrated in every city, town and village in the U.S. This year, it will be celebrated on August 7. In addition to increasing awareness of crime and drug prevention programs, NNO also strengthens neighborhood spirit and community-police partnerships, while sending a message to criminals that "neighborhoods are organized and fighting back against crime!"

San Antonio has always had strong and enthusiastic support for and participation in NNO, and won national NNO Awards in 1998, 2003 and in 2006. During NNO 2006, more than 450 San Antonio communities and approximately 130,000 residents registered to participate. We hope that NNO 2007 will be even larger!

To register your neighborhood for NNO 2007, you may print out NNO Registration Forms, you may use the On-Line NNO 2007 Registration Form, or you may obtain forms from your local police substation. See the San Antonio Police Department's website for more details.
