Milpitas National Night Out 2018
DATE: Thursday, August 9, 2018
LOCATION: City of Milpitas – City Wide
The Milpitas Police Department is encouraging residents to host or attend neighborhood parties on Thursday, August 9, 2018, to celebrate National Night Out, “America’s Night Out Against Crime”. National Night Out will be celebrating its 35th year of community involvement, where neighborhoods take a stand against crime.
The 35th Annual National Night Out is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and locally co-sponsored by the Milpitas Police Department. The Milpitas Citizen Advisory Commission will be collaborating with the Milpitas Police Department once again to make this year’s National Night Out another success.
National Night Out is an excellent way to build neighborhood relationships and to strengthen police and community partnerships. Over the past several years, Milpitas residents have used National Night Out as a tool to initiate local Neighborhood Watch groups and to get reacquainted with the people in their neighborhood. Most National Night Out parties become neighborhood potluck dinners and ice cream socials that last well into the evening. Officers from the Milpitas Police Department will pay a visit to each individual gathering, meet with the residents, distribute crime prevention material and answer questions that concerned residents may have. The children will enjoy police stickers and a peek inside of the police vehicles that the officers use on a daily basis as they patrol the city.
Milpitas residents interested in hosting a National Night Out neighborhood party or to obtain information should contact Officer John Muok at (408)586-2526 or via email at [email protected].
