National Night Out

Grand Chute is participating in National Night Out tomorrow evening. The event will be 7-9pm at Arrowhead Park. This year's theme is throwing a "going-away party for drugs and crime." The Grand Chute Police Department will be on hand along with McGruff the Crime Dog, Grand Chute Citizen's Police Academy and other local organizations. National Night Out events promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in our fight for safer communities.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:

• Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
• Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs;
• Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and
• Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

According to Matt Peskin, the executive director of the National Association of Town Watch, this year, 11,000 cities are participating in all 50 states, and an expected 35 million people will attend neighborhood events.

Hope to see you there!
