National Night Out is a community-police partnership held the first Tuesday of every August, sponsored by the National Association Town Watch. It aims to increase awareness about police programs in communities, such as drug prevention, town watch, and other anti-crime efforts. Initially communities held lights-on vigils. Now, many communities hold block parties, festivals, and other events to help bring neighbors together.
This year, Bellevue’s National Night Out will be celebrated in the municipal parking lot in front of the Bellevue police station on August 5th, from 4pm-10pm. For more information about the cause, see the NATW website:
