Neighborhoods throughout the City of Beloit are invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for National Night Out crime and drug prevention event. National Night Out involves over 34 million people participating in “America’s Night Out Against Crime” each year.
National Night Out is designed to: 1) heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; 2) strengthen neighborhood spirit and Police-community partnerships; 3) generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts; and, 4) send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
