NATIONAL NIGHT OUT SET FOR AUGUST 5, 2008 (Press Releases)
July 31, 2008Costa Mesa, California - NATIONAL NIGHT OUT SET FOR AUGUST 5, 2008
On Tuesday, August 5th from 6-9 pm, neighborhoods throughout Costa Mesa are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “25th Annual National Night Out” (NNO) crime and drug prevention event. Residents in neighborhoods throughout Costa Mesa and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. Many Costa Mesa neighborhoods participating in NNO are hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, ice cream socials, and youth activities.
National Night Out is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co-sponsored locally by the Costa Mesa Police Department. It will involve over 11,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian and military bases around the world. In all, over 35 million people are expected to participate in “America’s Night Out Against Crime” on August 5th. NNO 2008 is being supported in part by TARGET, the national corporate sponsor.
National Night Out is designed to: (1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
