GET THE WORD OUT – Join your neighbors & “give crime and drugs a going away party”!

Tuesday, August 3, 2010
Mark your calendars and celebrate the 27th annual National Night Out against crime and drugs.  NNO, sponsored by the Hopkins Police Department, will involve over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, US territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world. 

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness and to provide an opportunity to promote and celebrate police-community partnerships in crime prevention efforts. 

From 5:30 to 9 pm, residents in neighborhoods throughout Hopkins and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors. Many neighborhoods throughout Hopkins will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, ice cream socials, potlucks and games. In 2009, 52 neighborhoods in Hopkins registered and took part in NNO!

We encourage every neighborhood to get out and participate in “America’s Night Out Against Crime.”
