The 37th annual National Night Out is being celebrated on Tuesday, October 6 this year. The COVID-19 pandemic may have communities celebrating a little differently and later in the year, but one thing remains the same and that is the partnerships and camaraderie that are strengthened as police and citizens unite in neighborhoods.
Community engagement has been especially challenging this year. This annual community-building campaign is an opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances and enhance relationships with the goal of keeping neighborhoods safe.
Join your neighbors and friends in events scheduled throughout Baltimore County. There will be food, games, vehicle parades, and visits from police officers. The theme at each event will be the same – to keep your community, businesses and visitors safe.
Turn on your porch light on Tuesday, October 6 to show your support. And remember another safety precaution when gathering this year – wear a mask, practice social distancing and wash your hands.
