According to CCSO’s latest Facebook post, the annual community-building event works to promote first responder relationships within the community and makes neighborhoods safer.
National Night Out was introduced in August, 1984.
Since then, NNO has grown beyond small gatherings across the nation.
Communities all over have hosted block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and more.
