On Tuesday, August 3, neighborhoods throughout Bensalem Township are invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “27^th Annual National Night Out”. 

National Night Out is designed to:

·Generate support for and participate in local anticrime efforts.
·Strengthen neighborhood spirit and Police-community partnerships.
·Send a message to criminals letting them know our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

From 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Tuesday, August 3rd, residents in neighborhoods throughout Bensalem Township and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on the outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and Police.

Our local Town Watch groups will be conducting additional patrols and will have information available for anyone interested in joining a Town Watch group. 

“This is a night for America to stand together to promote awareness, safety and neighborhood unity.  National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer nation.  On August 3rd, we invite neighborhoods nationwide to join us in Giving Crime and Drugs a Going Away Party.”  Additional information about National Night Out can be found at www.nationalnightout.org <http://www.nationalnightout.org>.
