National Night Out
Tuesday, August 2
5:00pm - 8:00pm
Salem Common
On Tuesday, August 2, neighborhoods and businesses
throughout Salem are invited to join forces with thousands of other communities
nationwide for National Night Out, an event to promote police-community
partnerships; crime, drug and violence prevention; safety; and neighborhood
unity. National Night Out promotes police-community connections and
partnerships and fosters neighborhood camaraderie to build a safer and stronger
community through enhanced links and contacts. National Night Out is
sponsored by National Association of Town Watch and co-sponsored by Salem
Police Department. Communities from all 50 states are expected to
participate in "America's Night Out Against Crime".
Salem along with Target will be hosting National Night Out
on August 2nd from 5:00pm to 8:00pm on the Salem Common. There will be
races for the kids, a lot of police and fire apparatus and personnel, Target
employees on hand to help with various activities, and local vendors that may
wish to showcase crime prevention and safety tips.
This as a great opportunity for the men and women of the
Salem Police Department to make connections with the residents and
businesses. We all rush through life at a pretty fast pace and National
Night Out gives us all an opportunity to re-connect with some fun events and
safety information. The Police Department requires the support of our
residents and businesses to provide a safe community.
In light of recent tragic events throughout the country, our
hope is that this event will enhance the efforts of the police department in
building trust and fostering positive working relationships throughout the
city.
