Plans are currently underway for the 2009 Texas Night Out to be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2009. The Baytown Police Department Crime Prevention Division is accepting applications for those individuals or groups wishing to host block parties.
Texas Night Out, originally National Night Out, was changed to October for Texas due to the heat and mosquito problem during August.
National Night Out was designed to: (1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Get involved, know your neighbors and do your part to make crime prevention a part of your neighborhood.
For more information or to request an application, please contact the Baytown Police Department Crime Prevention Division at (281) 422-5152. Applications may also be obtained through nno@baytown.org.
Registration forms can be returned to the Baytown Police Department Crime Prevention Division, 220 W. Defee, Baytown, Texas 77520 or emailed to nno@baytown.org.
