What
is the National Night Out Against Crime?It is held on the first Tuesday of August and it is a time for communities to come together, build relationships and stand united against crime. All neighborhoods are encouraged to have an outside event that evening. A going away party for the criminals... if you will! The focus is making Bellingham a safer place to live.
The
24th Annual NNO, which was held on Tuesday, August 7th, 2007, involved
10,000 communities from all 50 states, US Territories, Canadian cities, and
military bases worldwide. In all, a record 35 million people- including
citizens, law enforcement agencies, community crime and drug prevention
groups, businesses, Federal and state agencies, civic and youth
organizations, and the military- participated in NNO 2007.
In Bellingham-NNO 2007, we hosted over 40 public events throughout 40 city neighborhoods, with attendance reaching 1343 citizens.
