National Night Out events forge active crime prevention efforts in neighborhoods, strengthen community-police partnerships, and develop better social and communication ties among neighbors.

It is also a good time to discuss and develop solutions to neighborhood issues. Real program success for your Neighborhood Watch group depends on you and your neighbors. That means the social component is key to making Neighborhood Watch work. The more that you and your neighbors get to know and talk with each other, the more you will take ownership of your neighborhood and look out for each other.

To make this happen, hold several neighborhood social functions each year to strenghten personal ties and discuss openly neighborhood issues.
