United States Attorney’s Office Joining Law Enforcement, Community Leaders and Residents for National Night Out Events

Tallahassee, Pensacola & Gainesville, Florida - The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Florida will join their law enforcement partners, neighbors, and communities for National Night Out events in North Central Florida and the Florida Panhandle.

U.S. Attorney Heekin said: "The U.S. Attorney's Office is proud to participate in National Night Out, which is an opportunity for law enforcement to interact with members of our community to foster trust and build strong relationships. We look forward to engaging with community leaders and residents in our continued efforts to make the Northern District of Florida the best and safest place in America to live, work, and raise a family."

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes partnerships and camaraderie between law enforcement and the communities they serve to make our neighborhoods safer places to live. Millions of people take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities throughout the country on the first Tuesday of August in most areas of the country.

National Night Out was established in 1984 with funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance of the U.S. Department of Justice. The program is administered by the National Association of Town Watch, a nationwide non-profit organization.

Coordinated by local law enforcement and trained volunteers, National Night Out provides an opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Neighborhoods host block parties, cookouts, festivals, parades, safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel and more. National Night Out sends a message that neighbors are united and working together to keep their communities and each other safe.
