United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana to Participate in Community Events During National Night Out
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana will join law enforcement partners, neighbors, and communities in National Night Out events in the Greater Indianapolis area and Evansville.
“National Night Out is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when communities and law enforcement come together,” said Tom Wheeler, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana. “This marks our third year participating in events across Indianapolis, and we’re proud to expand that presence to Evansville for the first time. These events reflect our deep commitment to building trust, strengthening partnerships, and supporting the people we serve across the Southern District of Indiana.”
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes partnerships and camaraderie between law enforcement and the communities they serve to make our neighborhoods safer places to live. Millions take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities throughout the country on the first Tuesday of August in most areas of the country.
National Night Out was established in 1984 with funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance of the U.S. Department of Justice. The program is administered by the National Association of Town Watch, a nationwide non-profit organization.
Coordinated by local law enforcement and trained volunteers, National Night Out provides an opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Neighborhoods host block parties, cookouts, festivals, parades, safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel and more. National Night Out sends a message that neighbors are united and working together to keep their communities and each other safe.
