What is National Night Out?
National Night Out is an annual
celebration of neighborhood events held all over the country on the first
Tuesday evening in August. This night is designed to strengthen
neighborhood spirit and police– community
partnerships in our community.
We encourage Spokane
neighbors to use this national celebration as an opportunity to hold events in
your neighborhood. The goals of these events are to meet your neighbors, meet
Spokane Community Policing Officers who work in your
neighborhood, and show your support for your neighborhood and community.
YOU should host an event!
We invite you to host your neighborhood’s National
Night Out event this year. Your event can be as unique as you and your
neighborhood. Simple celebrations can be sharing an ice cream treat, while more
elaborate events may include an evening of music and children’s activities.
Spokane police, fire crews
and city officials have participated in Night Out
events in the past, creating an ‘instant’ party atmosphere on your block!
It’s EASY to be a NNO
Event Host!
As a neighborhood NNO event host, your job can be
simple…and we are committed to helping you put together an easy, successful
event. While your NNO event may include whatever area of houses seems natural to
you, consider a ‘block’ party where the houses facing each other on your street
are invited—this may include as few as 10 or 20 households. The location will
likely be your driveway or yard. Ask a neighbor or two to help provide food (ice
cream, beverages, cookies, etc.). Put together a flyer for your event that you
(or neighbor kids) can slip into each house’s door. We will invite neighborhood
officials of your choice.
Block
Watch Programs make your Neighborhood safer all year!
Because National Night Out is an event created to
encourage Police-Community Partnerships, we are also encouraging blocks to
consider forming a Block Watch program. If you feel
your block is interested, Spokane C.O.P.S. can follow
up with you after the event.

Let's Talk About Crime.
Crime has two victims. One is the person who suffers loss or
injury. The other is the community.
When faced with rising crime, neighbors retreat behind
locked doors, merchants abandon businesses, and streets become
empty at night. Fear creates isolation, and that increases the neighborhood’s
vulnerability to crime.
Crime doesn’t have to be a fact of life.
Millions of citizens in thousands of
neighborhoods across the country have proven that
building a sense of community and taking common sense
precautions can cut crime and counter
fear. It takes time, energy, and commitment, but the
results are worth it!
If you've been
a victim of crime, you understand the need to step up and take
responsibility for your own safety and that of your family and
perhaps your neighbors.
If you have not been a victim of crime... statistics say that you
WILL sometime in your life. To help minimize that
possibility, EVERYONE needs to take an active role in preparing
themselves with the resources and knowledge necessary to help
maintain the quality of life they expect.
