Durham Police Department Registration is Underway for National Night Out 2019
Registration is underway for Durham’s observance of National Night Out (NNO), America’s Night Out Against Crime, on Tuesday, August 6, 2019. Neighborhoods, agencies and businesses are encouraged to support the celebration by organizing or sponsoring a NNO event or promotion. The evening of August 6 residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors, law enforcement and public safety partners. Neighborhoods typically host events such as block parties, cookouts, parades, flashlight walks, contests, youth activities and anti-crime campaigns.
NNO is a collaborative effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, and neighborhood unity. The National Association of Town Watch (NATW), which spearheads the observance, anticipates NNO 2019 will involve more than 16,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world.
Durham Police Department’s NNO registration deadline is Friday, July 12, 2019. For registration and observance information, go to www.durhampolice.com and click the 2019 NNO logo.

Direct NNO inquiries to Durham Police Department’s Public Affairs Office by emailing [email protected] or by calling (919) 560-4322 (Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.).
