National Night Out (NNO) is coming Tuesday, Aug. 4th, and is an annual event celebrated across the U.S., Canada and military installations, and is intended for residents to come together to meet one another and share crime prevention tips.

Each year, hundreds of Tukwila residents join their neighbors in celebrating an evening of fun while sending the message to criminals that they are not welcome in Tukwila!  Tukwila Police and Fire Departments as well as City Council members, Code Enforcement officers and Tukwila Human Services representatives will visit each neighborhood event that “registers” their event by this Wednesday, July 29th. Register early to receive a packet of crime prevention material to have on hand for your event!

Types of neighborhood events vary, from potluck bar-b-ques to pizza and pool parties, ice cream socials or coffee/dessert potluck. Think about a neighborhood clean up or a block work party to help out an elderly or disabled neighbor. Don’t limit your ideas! This is your time to bring your neighbors together for a fun evening.

Let’s make this the biggest Night Out Against Crime ever in Tukwila! Police and other City representatives will be available to visit your neighborhood event after 5 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4.

For more information, please contact Community Policing Coordinator Chris Partman at cpartman@ci.tukwila.wa.us or 206-431-2197 to register your event.
