National Night Out 2024
National Night Out (NNO) for unincorporated Larimer County and the Towns of Wellington and Berthoud is set for Tuesday, August 6, 2024.
NNO is a community-building campaign started by the National Association of Town Watch that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods a safer, better place to live. NNO enhances relationships between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
NNO is designed to heighten awareness around crime and drug prevention, generate support for (and participation in) local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit, and establish police-community partnerships. The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office encourages community members to get involved and send a message to criminals that Larimer County neighborhoods are united around safety and working together to stop crime.
Neighborhoods can participate by having block parties, cookouts, flashlight walks, and youth programs. The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office will stop by some neighborhoods to interact with residents and share crime prevention tips. These events are fun, effective, and inexpensive ways to interact with your neighbors and your sheriff’s office while strengthening those relationships and learning about crime prevention.
People who live in unincorporated Larimer County and wish to participate may contact the LCSO Crime Prevention Unit Coordinator Barbara Bennett at 970-498-5146 or bennetbe@co.larimer.co.us.
