National Night Out occurs one night each year and provides an avenue for communities and neighborhoods to come together at a block party or other gathering to support and build awareness for the local law enforcement agencies.
NNO's goals and objectives are to:
• Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness
• Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs
• Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships
• Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Many neighborhoods throughout Greensboro will be hosting National Night Out events.
