It's a great way to promote community-police partnerships and enjoy a summer evening surrounded by friends and family. The event has been held annually since 1984 and is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch in the United States and Canada.
The event is meant to increase awareness about police programs in communities, such as drug prevention, neighborhood watch and other anti-crime efforts.
You can make a difference. We applaud all of you who are involved in your Neighborhood Watch. “Please join us and strengthen neighborhood spirit while celebrating our safe community,” said Paula Monical, Crime Prevention Specialist.
