The National Association of Town Watch (NATW) has announced that the 27th Annual National Night Out (NNO) program will culminate on Tuesday, Oct. 5.

NNO 2009 involved more than 36 million people in 14,625 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. National Night Out 2010 is expected to be the largest ever. Once again this year, Target is a national corporate sponsor.

National Night Out, a year-long community building campaign, is designed to: heighten crime prevention awareness; generate support for and participation in local anticrime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Along with the traditional outside lights and front porch vigils, most cities and towns celebrate National Night Out with a variety of special citywide and neighborhood events such as block parties, cookouts, parades, festivals, visits from local officials and law enforcement, safety fairs and youth events.

On Oct. 5 from 6 to 9 p.m., the Tomball Police Department will be hosting a community wide cookout and safety fair at the Depot Plaza with representatives from area neighborhoods, apartment complexes, realtors and other neighborhood providers, to offer citizens of Tomball and visitors to our community with an opportunity to see what Tomball is all about, a “Hometown with a Heart.”
