The Dunwoody Police Department is partnering with Walmart Supercenter for the 31st Annual National Night Out event on August 5th, 2014, 6pm-8pm, 4725 Ashford Dunwoody Rd, Dunwoody, GA 30338.

 

“National Night Out is a unique crime and drug prevention program that is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch”.  This will be the 6th year that the Dunwoody Police have participated in this program.  National Night Out now involves over 37.8 million people and 16,124 communities from all fifty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide. 

 

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 anticrime 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. 

 

This year, Walmart Supercenter, Dunwoody will be providing free refreshments outside in their parking lot between 6PM-8PM.  The Dunwoody Police will also have special equipment on display including a patrol car, Segway and SWAT vehicle.

 

DeKalb County Fire along with over 15 local businesses and special interest groups will be on hand with booths. This will be a great opportunity for citizens to interact with members of the department and community. 

 

If you have any questions about this event or program, please contact Officer Tim Fecht at timothy.fecht@dunwoodyga.gov or (678) 382-6917.
