National Night Out - August 2, 2011

National Night Out Is a community policing preventative tool used to reach out to the community and promote programs that provide safe neighborhoods and prevent crime.  I participated in National Night Out during my time as a Marine, and as I travelled for work today witnessed the spirit of the programs is still alive in both the civilian community as well as the military community.  As I travelled to Fort Meade, MD for work this morning the local Fire, Police and other safety and law enforcement agencies were setting up to provide useful information to the community.  Locally in the Fredericksburg, VA area, communities like Culpeper, Stafford, and Spotsylvania hold local event in support of the National Night Out.  Check out National Night Out and search for events in your community.
