St. Michael, Albertville Neighborhoods to Celebrate National Night Out

Neighborhoods throughout St. Michael, Albertville and area communities will join together to recognize National Night Out the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 6.

Nationally, more than 15,000 communities participate each year, according to National Association of Town Watch.

National Night Out, a yearlong community building campaign, is designed to:

• Heighten crime prevention awareness.

• Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs.

• Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.

• Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
