National Night Out is an annual event designed to increase awareness of crime prevention programs and strengthen neighborhood spirit. NNO also provides an opportunity to promote and celebrate police-community partnerships in crime prevention efforts.
On the designated night every year, residents in neighborhoods throughout Columbia and across the nation will lock their doors, turn on their front porch light and spend the evening with neighbors and police to promote neighborhood unity against crime. Together we can send a strong message to criminals that we will not tolerate crime in our neighborhood.
