Residents of Las Cruces and Dona Ana County are invited to join their neighbors and area first responders for the annual National Night Out that will be held Aug. 2 on Main Street Downtown.
The National Night Out will be held from 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2, on Main Street Downtown in Las Cruces. The event is free and all area residents are invited to attend.
National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support and participating in various anti-crime efforts, strengthen community-police partnerships and encourage neighborhood camaraderie as we strive for a safer Las Cruces.
Law enforcement agencies and other first responders – including the Las Cruces Police Department, Las Cruces Fire Department, Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office and New Mexico State Police – and several other municipal, state and federal public safety agencies will be on hand to meet with residents and share information on the services they provide.
National Night Out is sponsored by the national Association of Town Watch and locally by the City of Las Cruces.
Residents who are unable to attend the NNO activities in Las Cruces are encouraged to turn on a front porch light and spend Tuesday evening outside with neighbors. The National Night Out is an opportunity to meet fellow residents and share information that can make our neighborhoods safer and more attractive places to live.
