2010 NATIONAL NIGHT OUT - A RESOUNDING SUCCESS

On Tuesday, August 3, 2010, from 6-9 p.m., neighborhoods throughout Salem joined forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the 27th Annual National Night Out crime and drug prevention event. 

National Night Out provides an opportunity for all community members to get to know one another and build strong networks of communication about what’s happening in the neighborhood.  National Night Out is designed to (1) heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) generate support for, and participation in local anti-crime efforts; (3) strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.  There were 157 parties throughout Salem; three occurred at city parks and 26 were close-the-street shindigs.  Some parties were simple ice cream socials, while others had jump houses, dunk tanks or live bands.NNO Officer team navigator Emily Collins snapped this photo of Sgt. Hardy with a future recruit.

Whatever type of party you have it is never too early to start planning for the next National Night Out.  If you want a visit from the Salem Police Department and a costumed mascot you need to register early. Scheduling of visits are done by area and requests are numerous, so flexibility of time is imperative.  If you have never hosted a party or would like some ideas, check out our   Block Party Booklet, which is intended to give you some helpful hints on how to make your neighborhood activity a safe and resounding success!  Also, watch for announcements on the date of our National Night Out Kickoff Party which occurs in July.  The event is an opportunity for registered block party hosts to pick up some last minute party ideas, confirm street closure or park use permits, as well as pick up their commemorative Salem Police Department National Night Out t-shirt to wear at their very own block party.

Check back on May 1 for the 2011 registration form.

In 2010 a total of 26 street closure permits were issued for National Night Out block parties.If you want to close your street or utilize a City park for a party during National Night Out, a permit is required. Permit fees are waived for National Night Out, and signs and barricades are made available for this special event at no cost to the users. Contact Becky George, Parks and Transportation Services Division, directly at 503-588-6211, for a temporary street closure permit or park usage permit.

If you have any questions, call the Salem Police Department Crime Prevention Unit at 503-588-6175.
