Press release from the Moraga Police Department:

MORAGA, CA — National Night Out is a nationwide campaign designed to build neighborhood camaraderie, enhance police-community relationships and bring a true sense of community back to our neighborhoods. The best way to build a safer community is to know your neighbors and your surroundings.

National Night Out 2023 is Tuesday, Aug. 1, and is the perfect opportunity for a neighborhood gathering. Many neighborhoods participate by having a block party, barbecue, or other event. Moraga Police Department and Moraga-Orinda Fire District participate by visiting each gathering, getting to know residents and sharing safety information. Nearly 38 million people in America are expected to participate in National Night Out in 2023 — the 40th year the event has been held.
