National Night Out 2006 takes place on Tuesday, August 1, 2006. National Night Out is an annual event, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, that takes place on the first Tuesday in August. Each year, the Metropolitan Police Department actively participates in National Night Out by rallying community members throughout the District of Columbia to join with neighbors and police officers in their PSAs to be a part of this annual event.
The National Night Out campaign involves citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from 9,500 communities from all 50 states, US territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide.
National Night Out is designed to:
* Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
* Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs;
* Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police_community partnerships; and
* Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Activities in the First District include the following:
The First District Headquarters (415 4th St., SW) will be having an open house beginning at 6 pm.
PSA 102 (the western portion of the Stanton Park neighborhood) will have a community gathering at Ludlow Taylor School (629 G Street, NE) beginning at 6pm.
