25th Annual National Night Out Success!
I can not thank you all enough for the hard work that went into this year’s National Night Out. Despite the hot weather we had 133 block parties registered and 3 regional parties that involved thousands of Chesterfield County residents. Just to highlight a few parties Hampton Park had 12 block parties registered. Providence United Methodist Church, Bensley Community Center, Walton Park, Salem Woods had over 1000 people combined. We had many first time Neighborhood parties, including 30 Apartment communities.
We are confident the four following objectives were met:
- Heightened crime and drug prevention awareness;
- Generated support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs;
- Strengthened neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships;
- A message was sent to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
