National Night Out is part of a year-long community building campaign designed 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

Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 36 million people participated in National Night Out 2009.

The LAPPL urges its members and friends to attend one or more events this year to show your support for this worthwhile and productive annual tradition.
