National Night Out on Aug. 5

National Night Out is a crime and drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and co-sponsored locally by the Evans Police Department. National Night Out presents an opportunity for neighborhoods to come together with the Evans Police Department, the Mayor and members of the City Council, Officials from the city administration and local business leaders to build a strong sense of purpose and community. 

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for (and participation in) local anti-crime efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police/community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized.
