Some notes and information about National Night Out 
Through the years National Night Out has come to mean different things to different towns across the Country.  In South Londonderry Township, we have found that this is a very beneficial community event that promotes solid relationships between emergency responders and the areas that they serve.  We believe that a strong working relationship between a community and their Police Department helps to reduce crime. 

why nno?

The Police Department’s objective in coordinating this event is to promote interaction among the many people who live or work in the area. It offers the chance to meet the police officers and other emergency responders who provide public safety services. It is our hope that NNO will help to open lines of communication with the Police Department and ultimately, help us, help the community. 

since 2007

SLTPD PTL Theresa Mack began coordinating this event in 2007.  Since that time, NNO has continued to grow each year and we see more participation from Businesses, Organizations, and Community Groups. If you have never attended, it’s a great opportunity to reacquaint yourself with extended neighbors and old friends. It’s also a chance to meet some new people that may be attending for the first time.  This seems especially relevant today as our area continues to grow.

thank you!

We are very grateful to the people, businesses and organizations that make NNO work.  Without their generous donations of food, funds, and time, this event would not be possible.  Many volunteers dedicate their time to setting up, serving food, manning a booth, tearing down, or helping out in some of the many ways that allow NNO to happen.  If you would like to participate in the event, please contact PTL Theresa Mack by calling 838-1376, or e-mail her directly at tmack@southlondonderry.org. 

a brief history of national night out

According to the National Association of Town Watch, www.natw.org, ‘National Night Out’ began about 30 years ago.  They state, “The introduction of National Night Out, “America’s Night Out Against Crime”, in 1984 began an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. NATW’s National Night Out program culminates annually, on the first Tuesday of August (In Texas, the first Tuesday of October).”

Natw.org also includes that “The first National Night Out took place on Tuesday, August 7th 1984. That first year, 2.5 million Americans took part across 400 communities in 23 states.  National Night Out now involves over 37 million people and 15,000 communities from all fifty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.”
