National Night Out Against Crime


America’s Night Out Against Crime
Tuesday, August 5, 2008


On Tuesday, August 5, 2008 neighborhoods throughout Marion County will participate in the Twenty-Fifth Annual National Night Out: America's Night Out Against Crime.

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood spirit; help form good relationships between the community and the police; and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Neighbors can participate by hosting a block party, or cookout, or pitch-in, or ice cream social, or flashlight walk, or neighborhood parade, or pizza party, or youth activities (games, chalk art, jump rope, hula hoop contest, watermelon seed-spitting contest, karaoke, volleyball, badminton or croquet) - simply anything that brings you and your neighbors together outside.

Don't miss this great opportunity to show your support for law enforcement and crime free neighborhoods; strengthen police - community partnerships; and celebrate neighborhood unity.

If you have any questions, please call Ann Westropp, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Southeast District Crime Watch Specialist, at 327-6365.
