National Night Out, sponsored by the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TOWN WATCH, is a neighborhood crime and drug prevention event that occurs annually on the first Tuesday in August and is celebrated in every city, town and village in the US. In addition to increasing awarness of crime and drug prevention programs, NNO also strengthens neighborhood spirit and community-police partnerships, while sending a message to criminals that "neighborhoods are organized and fighting back against crime!"
San Antonio has always had strong and enthusiastic support for and participation in NNO, and won a national NNO Award in 1998 and in 2003. During NNO 2003, more than 450 San Antonio communities and approximately 130,000 residents registered to participate. We hope that NNO 2004 will be even larger!
