IRVING TO JOIN CITIES NATIONWIDE FOR

‘AMERICA’S NIGHT OUT AGAINST CRIME’

              On Tuesday, October 2nd, neighborhoods throughout Irving are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “35th Annual National Night Out” (NNO) crime and drug prevention event.  National Night Out, which is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co-sponsored locally by Hunter Valley Townhome Association, will involve over 16,500 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world.  In all, over 38.5 million people are expected to participate in ‘America’s Night Out Against Crime’.  NNO 2018 corporate sponsors are Dietz & Watson, Ring, Associa and Package Guard.

              National Night Out is designed to: (1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

              From 7 to 10 p.m. on October 2nd, residents in neighborhoods throughout Irving and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police.  Many neighborhoods throughout Irving will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from police, flashlight walks, contests, youth activities and anticrime rallies.  From 6 to 8 p.m., Hunter Valley residents will relish interacting with their neighbors while enjoying some special NNO freebies.  Both the Irving Police and Fire Departments have been invited to visit as well.

              National Project Coordinator Matt Peskin said, “This is a night for America to stand together to promote awareness, safety and neighborhood unity.  National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer nation.  On NNO, we invite neighborhoods nationwide to join us in Giving Crime & Drugs a Going Away Party.”
