National Night Out
Tuesday, August 7th
Make Community Connections
National Night Out is one of the greatest things for our city of Oakland, as well as any city. It's a chance to not just meet your neighbors, but to spend time with them, to build relationships and connections for good and to deter bad. There are numerous block parties already planned, but you can also plan your own.
Here's some helpful information - including links - that I found on Councilwoman Jean Quan's Website.
Register for National Night Out Now; the nation's night out against crime is Tuesday, August 7, 7-9 pm. Research shows that when neighbors know each other and look out for each other crime goes down. Last year District 4 had over 60 parties, join with their neighbors to have a neighborhood block party, ice cream social or other outdoor event to build neighborhood spirit and unity - the first defense against crime. My staff and I, police, and other city staff will visit each party. Register your party online, or contact Brenda Ivey with the Oakland Police Department at 238-3091. The deadline to register is 5:00 pm on Friday, July 27th. Only registered groups will be eligible for a visit! Block Party Guide
