About National Night Out
National Night Out is a community event to raise awareness about community policing in our
neighborhoods. Across Denton, neighborhoods, homeowners' associations, and citizens' groups
will hold block parties and barbecues to encourage neighbors to get to know each other and local
law enforcement agencies and help make their community safer.
The City of Denton has been an active participant in National Night Out events for the past
several years and enjoys getting to know citizens at gatherings throughout Denton. While some
neighborhoods hold large parties, others join in by turning on their front porch light in support of
each other and law enforcement. No matter the size of the event,National Night Out is about
strengthening neighborhood spirit.
To continue to foster community awareness and strengthen citizen engagement, the City will
have staff from various departments visit registered community events during National Night
Out. Elected officials and staff from Police, Fire, Utilities, and more will be on-hand to visit with
residents and talk about City services and programs.
