Cypress Police Department Hosts
National Night Out 2013 at Oak Knoll Park

On Tuesday, August 6th, neighborhoods throughout Cypress are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the 30th annual “National Night Out” (NNO) crime and drug prevention event. National Night Out, which is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) and co-sponsored locally by the Cypress Police Department, will involve over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases around the world. In all, over 37 million people are expected to participate in ‘America’s Night Out Against Crime.’ NNO 2013 is being supported in part by Target, a national corporate sponsor.

National Night Out is designated to: (1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

From 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. on August 6th, residents in neighborhoods throughout Cypress and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights, and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police.

The Cypress Police Department will be hosting a NNO event at Oak Knoll Park (East side of the Community Center Parking Lot). The Community Services Unit, Traffic Safety Unit, K-9 Unit, and S.W.A.T. team will be present with displays and will provide crime prevention information. The California Department of Fish and Game will have an information booth. There will be a K-9 demonstration and games. Target will be providing free refreshments while supplies last.

For additional information, contact the Cypress Police Department’s Community Outreach Officer, Julie Marquez, at (714) 229-6626, or visit the National Night Out website at www.nationalnightout.org.
