Norman plans National Night Out

I love any excuse for a cookout. Here’s some info from the Norman Police Department:
On August 07, 2012, Norman will participate in a nationwide event, which is intended to bring people out of their homes and become active within their neighborhoods. Norman will be joining people around the world to celebrate the “29th Annual National Night Out”. National Night Out is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch in partnership with Target. Members of the Norman Police Department are looking forward to meeting with our citizens on National Night Out.
This event is designed to 1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; 2) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; 3) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts; 4) Send a message to criminals, letting them know neighborhoods care and will not be victimized.
On August 07, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., we would like to encourage the citizens of Norman to lock their doors, turn on their outside lights and spend the evening getting to know their neighbors. The Norman Police Department would like to know if your neighborhood is planning an event for National Night Out. Please let us know the details of your event through Facebook (City of Norman, OK Police Department), by e-mail at jennifer.newell@normanok.gov or calling Sgt. Jennifer Newell at 405-366-5267.
