On Tuesday, August 2, 2022, communities in New York City and throughout the United States will celebrate the 39th anniversary of National Night Out Against Crime. National Night Out was designed to heighten crime- and drug-prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit, enhance police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that the communities are organized and are fighting back. All precincts, police service areas, and transit districts – in conjunction with community residents – will be hosting events. Participants can look forward to crime-prevention information and presentations, receiving Kid Care ID Kits, Operation Safe Child, and having NYPD units such as the Canine, Harbor, Emergency Service, and Highway units on display. Adults can also sign up for volunteer programs such as the Auxiliary Police Program, while young people can sign up for the Law Enforcement Exploring Program, as well as others. Entertainment, giveaways, contests, and refreshments will be provided. The public can visit the NYPD’s website www.nyc.gov/nypd for a list of event locations.
Join the NYPD and city officials at more than 70 locations citywide on National Night Out Against Crime, Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships to help make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. It seeks to strengthen the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement, fostering a true sense of community.
Enjoy barbeque and bounce houses, face painting, food, and fun. Meet leaders and personnel from your local precinct and interact with neighbors, community members, and local businesses with the common goal of partnership and safety.
