National Night Out Is Aug. 1 In Montgomery

MONTGOMERY, IL — The 34th Annual National Night Out (NNO) for Montgomery residents is set for Tuesday, Aug. 1. NNO is a community-building campaign started by the National Association of Town Watch that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods a safer, better place to live. NNO enhances the relationships between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

NNO is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for (and participation in) local anticrime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit, and establish police-community partnerships. We encourage you to get involved and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. Neighborhoods can participate by attending their designated stop location and interact with neighbors and police and fire personnel.

The Montgomery Police will be at the stop locations to interact with residents and share crime prevention tips. These events are fun, effective, and inexpensive ways to interact with your neighbors and your police and fire personnel while strengthening those relationships and learning about crime prevention.

This year the Montgomery Police Department along with the Montgomery, Aurora Township, Oswego, Sugar Grove, and Bristol-Kendall Fire Departments will be visiting the following neighborhoods throughout the area.
