National Night Out
On Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023, The City of Alexandria will celebrate National Night Out (NNO), a day designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, generate support for anti-crime programs, and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized, and working with law enforcement to help prevent crime.
Each year the Alexandria Police Department, Alexandria Fire Department, Alexandria Sheriff’s Office, City officials, other City agencies, and non-profit organizations partner with the community to celebrate NNO. From community cookouts to open houses, block parties, and athletic events, Alexandria will be ready for its annual celebration.
“National Night Out is a fun evening for all. Our agency believes in community policing and National Night Out gives us a chance to celebrate our success in working together to reduce crime and improve the quality of life throughout our city,” said Police Chief Don Hayes.
