This Tuesday evening, East Sac neighborhoods will join in with the 30th annual
National Night Out. The evening has been designed as a way for
neighborhoods to fight back against crime as strong, organized
communities. Last year, more than 37 million people in 15,000
communities across the U.S. participated, and even more are
anticipated this year.
From 6pm to 10pm, East Sac communities
will participate by throwing block parties, cookouts, ice cream
socials, etcetera. (City block party fees are waived for the
evening.) At these gatherings, police can visit to help educate about
drug and crime prevention and various area anticrime programs.
The further reaching hope is for
improved community relations, a stronger partnership between
neighborhoods and law enforcement and an altogether resounding shout
at criminals that their activities will be met with a fight. For more
information about this event, contact Lindsey Mendoza at
lmendoza@pd.cityofsacramento.org or jbonner@pd.cityofsacramento.org.
Of course, it is also just a great way to get to know your neighbors and a good excuse to sit outside in this perfect weather and share some good eats and drinks with them.
