The National Association of Town Watch (NATW) has announced that the 28th Annual National Night Out (NNO) program will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 2.  National Night Out 2010 involved 37 million people in 15,110 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide.

National Night Out is sponsored by NATW with the goals of:

• Heightening crime prevention awareness;
• Generating support/participation in local crime abatement efforts;
• Strengthening neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships;
• Sending a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. 

In addition to traditional porch light vigils, most cities and towns now celebrate NNO with a variety of citywide and neighborhood events.

Community members are invited to join Tomball first responders at a free event held on Aug. 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. The Tomball Police Department (TPD), Tomball Fire Department, Northwest EMS and Tomball Public Works will have bounce houses, fire trucks, ambulances, police cars and other large equipment/special use vehicles on display.

Target representatives and area businesses will set up displays affording them an opportunity to support the community, promote their businesses and recruit future employees. Each business will be provided space for their display.

Target will be providing hot dogs for all in attendance, and everyone is invited to watch as Target employees and TPD Explorers complete an artistic mural of the NNO logo in the middle of the Depot.  Additionally, the event will include a Mayor’s proclamation, candlelight vigil and push-up contest.
