Its time to register your block or neighborhood party for National Night Out which is coming up Tuesday October 1st.

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department released the following information on getting your party registered;

On Tuesday, October 1st,  from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, citizens in neighborhoods across Texarkana, Arkansas will be turning their lights on and getting together with friends and neighbors for an evening outside to celebrate the “36th Annual NATIONAL NIGHT OUT”.

The National Night Out has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote “neighborhood spirit” and “community partnerships”. National Night Out, a year-long community building campaign, is designed to: (1) Heighten crime prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Representatives from the Police Department, Fire Department, and City Hall will start our visits this year at approximately 6:00pm. We’ll be available for questions and you can share your concerns about police services in your neighborhood.

If you are interested in participating in this exceptional community event, please call and register your party at 903-798-3187 . Don’t delay!

Of course you don’t have to register with the city to host or attend a neighborhood watch or block party. But authorities will only visit those sites that are in their registry.
