U.S. Attorney’s Office for Western District of Kentucky to Participate in Community Events During National Night Out

Louisville, KY – Today, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky will join their law enforcement partners, neighbors, and communities in National Night Out events in Louisville, Kentucky.

“Our prosecutors and staff come to the office everyday with one goal in mind: to serve the citizens of Louisville and the broader Western District,” said U.S. Attorney Bumgarner.  “We look forward to participating in National Night Out to get to know those we serve and have some fun in the process.”   

The U.S. Attorney's Office will promote community safety and awareness by engaging with residents at Louisville Metro Police Department events in neighborhoods across the city. The office will also host a resource booth with crime prevention information at LMPD's Eighth Division event at Walker Warren Park in the Douglas Hills neighborhood.

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.
