Registration Opens For Boulder's National Night Out

BOULDER, CO — Registration has opened for Boulder's National Night Out, which aims to forge stronger relationships among the community, local police and fire departments. Residents are invited to host gatherings in their neighborhoods.

"We will make sure that you have a friendly visit from police officers or firefighters, and even city council members if you wish," the city said in a statement.

"National Night Out is a tremendous opportunity to enhance relationships between neighbors, law enforcement and fire services while bringing back a true sense of community."

The city’s Neighborhood Services program will reimburse up to $300 for expenses for your party – all you need to do is register your event, fill out a simple reimbursement form and provide receipts, the city said.

National Night Out 2019 is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
