Arlington Police Department (Texas)
Police Chief Theron Bowman invites you to participate in the 27th annual National Night Out (NNO) crime, drug, and violence prevention program sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) on Tuesday, October 4, 2011. This event is expected to involve hundreds of Arlington residents and millions across the country.
The purpose of National Night Out is to build strong partnerships between the police and communities and to promote crime awareness programs such as Neighborhood Community Watch groups. According the NATW, last year's event was the largest ever that involved 37 million people in 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide.
On October 4, residents are encouraged to turn on their porch lights and gather with their neighbors to show unity against criminal activity. Public service personnel such as those from police, fire, and emergency medical services may visit some of the registered communities.
The City of Arlington has participated in National Night Out for over 20 years. The past 3 years, the City of Arlington, Texas has ranked in the top ten among the largest cities in the nation. Without your help, NNO would not be possible. If you would like to help the City of Arlington with this proactive stance against crime, contact David Hart, Dharthomes@gmail.com or call 817-937-8452 to register for National Night Out in your community.
