On Tuesday, Oct. 4, neighborhoods throughout Taylor are invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the National Night Out crime and drug prevention event. National Night Out is sponsored locally by the city of Taylor and the Taylor Police Department. After two years of not hosting NNO due to COVID-19 concerns, block party registration has been light so far, and interested residents are encouraged to get involved and register their party soon.
National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, as well as strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.
The event is a way to generate support and participation in efforts to lower crime rates locally. National Night Out begins at 6 p.m., and residents are asked to turn on their front porch light and spend the evening with neighbors, police, elected officials, firefighters and many others. Neighborhoods throughout the city will host special events such as block parties and cookouts. Public safety servants from Taylor will visit the different events.
For more information, and to register your block party, contact Claudia Parisella at the Taylor Police Department at 512352-5551, or visit www.nationalnightout. org.
