Concord PD Announces 'National Night Out 2022' Plans

CONCORD, CA — The Concord Police Department will host its 2022 National Night Out Tuesday, Aug. 2 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Concord Library at 2900 Salvio St.

The free, community event will include children's activities, a resource fair, along with the department's K-9 and patrol units, police said.

Concord residents planning National Night Out neighborhood get-togethers can email the city at cleanup@cityofconcord.org to inquire about visits from local officials.

"Let us know where your National Night Out celebration will be so we can stop by and see old friends and make some new ones," Concord police said. "We can't wait to see you!"

The nationwide National Night Out tradition began in a Pennsylvania town in 1970, and the annual campaign, intended to build police and community camaraderie, began expanding across the country in 1984.

Now in its 39th year, the event, typically held on the first Tuesday in August, is celebrated in communities throughout the U.S. with neighborhood block parties, parades, cookouts, safety demonstrations and visits from law enforcement and emergency personnel.
