Register Now For Neighborhood Night Out

2009 block party in the neighborhood

Registration is open now for Seattle Police Department's 35th annual Night Out coming up on August 6th.


SPD says about the event:

Night Out is a national event promoted in Seattle by Seattle Police Department Crime Prevention. It is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood support in anti-crime efforts, and unite our communities. 

If your neighborhood plans to participate in the Annual Night Out Seattle Department of Neighborhoods has a fund to support your event. 

The Small Sparks Fund provides matching dollars for neighborhood-initiated projects that promote community engagement. Community groups can request up to $5,000 to help fund Night Out planning efforts and activities such as outreach materials, educational fairs, and kids’ activities, to name a few. 

Night Out is a great opportunity to celebrate your efforts to keep your neighborhood safe. Pat each other on the back for your continued involvement and dedication to public safety. It is also a great time to invite new neighbors to join you and talk with friends and family who may not enjoy the benefits of a Block Watch about getting one started.  

Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. It is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood support in anti-crime efforts, and unite our communities. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. To sum it all up, you close down the street and have a party with your neighbors and invite the police.
