National Night Out is a community-building and crime prevention campaign that promotes collaborative law enforcement-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. Thousands of communities nationwide will participate in neighborhood block parties, festivals, cookouts, safety demonstrations, seminars, and activities that heighten crime and drug prevention awareness and generate support for and participation in local anticrime efforts. Events such as these help to strengthen neighborhood spirit, police-community partnerships, and demonstrate a shared commitment for strong and safe communities.
“Strong community partnerships are an important way to prevent violent crime,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Farley. “I encourage everyone to participate in National Night Out and to become involved in their communities. By working together, we can help to keep our cities and towns safe from crime.”

Registered events will take place in Bedford, Belmont, Brentwood, Center Tuftonboro, Claremont, Dover, Exeter, Farmington, Gilford, Goffstown, Greenland, Hollis, Hooksett, Hudson, Lebanon, Lincoln, Manchester, Merrimack, Milford, Nashua, Newport, Portsmouth, Raymond, Rochester, Salem, Seabrook, Somersworth, Stratham, Thornton, Waterville Valley and Woodstock.
