National Night Out
National Night Out is August 6, 2013 and Little Rock Night Out is in October. National Night Out, a community building campaign, is designed to: (1) Heighten crime prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Although the City of Little Rock will have Night Out in October, some neighborhoods may choose to have their (NNO) on evening of August 6, 2013. Their decision is based on what’s conducive to their respective neighborhood. Citizens will celebrate National Night Out with a variety of special citywide and neighborhood events. There will be block parties, cookouts, flashlight walks, festivals, visits from local officials and law enforcement, safety fairs and youth events.
Last year Little Rock had 17 NNO locations, involving 38 Neighborhood groups and attracting 3,811 Citizens.
