National Night Out, 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 (IN TEXAS
NNO 2008 WILL BE IN OCTOBER) and is
celebrated in every city, town and village in the US. In addition to
increasing awarness 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 2007, more than 450 San Antonio communities and approximately
130,000 residents registered to participate. We hope that NNO 2008
will be even larger!
