Brooklyn Neighborhood

For several years we’ve had multiple block parties in Brooklyn.  They’re fun for everyone and the city is more than willing to pitch in and help you plan it.  Have you thought about what you and your neighbors are doing to celebrate National Night Out on August 5, 2008?National Night Out is a unique event where communities throughout the United
States and Canada celebrate a night out against crime. It is also a great
opportunity to connect with your neighbors, which is an important element in
preventing crime and strengthening your community.

If you are hosting a National Night Out party, you can register online starting
June 10, 2008. Registration closes July 22. Parties happening between July
29 and August 2 can be registered as official National Night Out events.
However, most people hold their parties on the official day. By registering your
party, you will receive:

• Support with your planning efforts
• Information and National Night Out promotional materials
• Help with street closures and noise ordinance variances
• Assistance with requests for visits from police and fire

To learn more about hosting a party or to get involved with an event in your
area, go to the Office of Neighborhood Involvement Crime Prevention webpage at
