National Night Out Celebrations October 7

Just a reminder that National Night Out (NNO) this year is October 7. In the past NNO was in August. Changing to October is as a test to see whether there will be greater participation in cooler weather. The objectives of NNO are:

    * Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
    * Generate support and participation in crime efforts.
    * Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community relations.
    * Send the message that your neighborhood is a safe place to live.

To sign up your neighborhood block party as an official NNO site or for more information, go to www.cityofaustin.org/police/nno.htm.
