National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer and more caring places to live. It is usually held on the first Tuesday in August. The event encourages neighbors to get to know each other better, and to build a stronger sense of community by hosting block parties, cookouts, and various activities such as parades, festivals, safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, and visits from emergency personnel.

The goal of National Night Out is to:
1. Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
2. Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs.
3. Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.
4. Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

The event is observed in many communities across the United States and has grown significantly since it was first introduced in 1984. This year marks the 41st year of this nationally celebrated community event.
