2008 NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
Are you interested in participating in the 25th Annual
National Night Out, America’s Night Out Against Crime? On
Tuesday August 5th, from 6 to 9p.m., neighborhoods
throughout the City of El Cajon are being invited to join
forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the
25th Annual National Night Out. We are asking residents to
lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the
evening outside with neighbors and police. National Night
Out, which is sponsored by the National Association of Town
Watch and co-sponsored by the El Cajon Police Department,
will involve over 11,000 communities from all 50 states.
In all, over 35 million people are expected to participate
In “America’s Night Out Against Crime” on August 5th.
National Night Out is designed to: Heighten crime and drug
prevention awareness, generate support for, and
participation in, local anticrime programs, strengthen
neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships AND
send a message to criminals letting them know that
neighborhoods are organized and fighting back! This is a
great community event and gives you an opportunity to have
your neighbors come out and get to know one another and
show your support for our community.
If you do sign up for this event, personnel throughout the
El Cajon Police Department will stop by your
community/neighborhood and say HI. You can do a block
party, BBQ, pizza party, potluck or whatever you choose.
Remember, food will bring people out! If you would like to
sign your community/neighborhood up to participate or get
more information, please contact Samantha Hook at
619-579-4227 or via e-mail shook@ci.el-cajon.ca.us
Remember, you can make this a very successful event by
getting everyone involved. Certificates will also be
issued for your participation. More information to follow!
On Wednesday, August 6th, please join Downtown El Cajon at
the Cajon Classic Cruise car show located in downtown El
Cajon. We will be celebrating National Night Out at this
event as well. There will be different vehicles from the
El Cajon Police Department on display, which includes our
