Many neighbors organize or attend a block party in their neighborhood on National Night Out.
It's a fun way to join your neighbors outside for the evening in an effort to raise community awareness about crime and crime prevention. The community council encourages blocks to register their parties with the council. The prize patrol will visit bringing balloons and prizes for kids, crime prevention materials as crime data for the block.
