National Night Out in Prince William County

Prince William County Police Department will observe the 33rd National Night Out celebration tonight, Aug. 2 by encouraging County residents to lock their doors, turn on outdoor lights and spend this evening outside with their neighbors as a symbol that they care about their neighborhoods.

National Night Out – coordinated by the Crime Prevention Unit of the Police Department in partnership with the Prince William Crime Prevention Council – is designed to help create healthy neighborhoods block by block, to help neighbors know one another, to celebrate community, and to take steps to make neighborhoods safer for all residents.

Additionally, National Night Out helps form good relationships between the community and the Police Department. Neighborhood Watch programs, and National Night Out, help to create a neighborhood network to prevent crime and enhance the quality of life in the County.

Several current Watches throughout the County will host motorcade stops and invite police officers and other law enforcement personnel for refreshments.
