National Night Out Against Crime Held Aug. 2

PORSMOUTH, NH — Portsmouth neighborhoods will take to the streets to celebrate the 33rd Annual National Night Out Against Crime (NNO) on Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2016 from 5 to 8 p.m.

For more than 20 years, neighborhoods throughout Portsmouth have participated in this national event designed to foster neighborhood cooperation and police-community partnerships. Portsmouth's Neighborhood based NNO celebrations connect our community and foster partnerships between Portsmouth residents and members of our police department.

Submitted by Cliff Lazenby for the Citywide Neighborhood Committee and Det. Tim Cashman of the Portsmouth Police Department.

Sponsored by the Citywide Neighborhood Committee, a mayoral blue ribbon committee, and the Portsmouth Police Department, NNO is an evening outdoors filled with social activities.
