National Night Out Registration Closes Friday

Criminals, beware.

That’s the message communities and law enforcement agencies across the country will send out at this year's 30th annual National Night Out.

To be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6, National Night Out aims to strengthen communities and help reduce crime by encouraging neighbors to come together at annual block parties. The events also forge stronger relationships between residents and local police, and lets criminals know that the community is fighting back. 

Fremont residents are encouraged to host neighborhood block parties in observation of National Night Out. However, the last day to register your block party with the Fremont Police Department is this Friday.

To register your event, go to www.fremontpolice.org .
