Fight Crime by Getting to Know Your Neighbors

Whether you want to fight back against crime or simply get to know your neighbors a little bit better, Edina's Night to Unite could change all of that.

Neighborhoods all over Edina—and the country—are gathering to throw block parties to celebrate National Night Out.

Now in its 28th year, National Night Out is a yearly event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch. As we , Night to Unite is designed to:

• Allow residents to better know their neighbors.
• Strenghen neighborhood involvement by connecting police and their communities.
• Raise awareness of crime prevention and local law enforcement efforts.

Are you hosting a party and want to invite a few of your neighbors to join in on the fun? Leave a comment below. Edina Patch will also swing by a block party or two tonight to cover the festivities, so let us know if you're planning a massive event.
