National Night Out (NNO) is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.

This relationship building allows for shared visions, concerns, and solutions to be discussed,” said Sheriff Steve Hall. “Paired with local law enforcement, this galvanized relationship has been one the most effective tools in the crime fighting toolbox. We look forward to seeing all the members of our community come together in an effort to build community and prevent crime in our neighborhoods.”
“We are thankful to our partners in local law enforcement for their efforts to serve, protect, and engage the community,” said Commissioner President Randy Guy. “We hope all participating communities have a fun National Night Out!”
