Letter: National Night Out and chance to build community
To the editor:
National Night Out was founded in 1984 with a grant from the National Crime Prevention Council and sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch.
National Night Out began simply with neighbors turning on their porch lights and sitting in front of their homes. This annual community - building campaign to promote police and community partnerships has grown each year and encourages residents to get out in their communities, hold block parties, and get to know their neighbors.
