Hayward Police to celebrate a night out

The Hayward Police Department is getting the city ready for National Night Out. The event celebrates communities and law enforcement with citywide activities, information, and parties.

The National Night Out, or NNO, is a nationwide celebration that is coordinated through local police departments across America. The goal is to increase neighborhood vitality through partnerships between the police and the community. The Hayward NNO is also being coordinated by Neighborhood Alert and ADT.

At its base, the NNO is celebrated with a porch light vigil. Between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm, all residents are asked to turn on their porch lights in support of local law enforcement. Neighborhoods are also encouraged to organize block parties, which will give members within a community the chance to get to know each other and celebrate in safe conditions. Members from the police will visit each block party to share information and give tips on how to be a more organized, safer neighborhood. Block parties should be registered with the police department, but party organizers are responsible for making their own Flyers and generating their own publicity.

National Night Out will be held on August 2 throughout Hayward. Police visits of block parties will begin at 6:00 pm. Anyone interested in more information should contact the police department directly or visit the city website.
