The 29th annual National Night Out Against Crime (NNO)
is scheduled for Tuesday, August 7th 2012.
Last year’s National Night Out campaign involved citizens,
law enforcement agencies, civic businesses, neighborhood organizations and
local officials from over 15,000 communities. In all, over 37 million participated
in the National Night Out 2011. This year, we want to see that number grow.
National Night Out is designed to:
- Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness
- Generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs
- Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and
- Send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back
- BBQ
- Ice Cream social
- Pot Luck neighborhood dinners
- Neighborhood cookouts
If you live in Bellingham and want a representative from the
Police Department, Whatcom Dispatch (911) Center, Office of Emergency
Management or Whatcom County Humane Society, register your event as soon as

particular area of expertise. Guest speakers are limited so request

Not only has NNO proven to be an effective and inexpensive
program it’s also a fun way to promote safer neighborhoods and police-community
partnerships. The benefit offered to neighbors getting out and meeting each
other is priceless. Join this year’s event. Commit to hosting a National Night
