APD Encourages Residents to Register Their Neighborhood for National Night Out

From Alameda Police Department

National Night Out is the nation's night out against crime.

Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, residents are encouraged to join with their neighbors and their police department to have a neighborhood block party, ice cream social or other outdoor event to build neighborhood spirit and unity — which is the first defense against crime.

Research shows that when neighbors know each other and look out for each other crime goes down.

National Night Out is on Tuesday, August 6, 2013 between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Register your neighborhood for a visit from the Alameda Police Department today by calling (510)337-8305 or by sending an email to copps@ci.alameda.ca.us.
