National Night Out - Bradford

On Tuesday, August 5th, neighborhoods throughout Bradford are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the “25th Annual National Night Out” (NNO) crime and drug prevention event. From 7 to 9 p.m. on August 5th, residents in neighborhoods throughout Bradford and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police. Project Pride will be hosting a live broadcast by WBRR at Family Video with the City of Bradford Police Department providing children’s fingerprinting ID kits, safety information, and activities. CARE for Children will be on hand with safety information and SAFE Kids McKean County handouts.

National Night Out is designed to: (1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts; (3) Strengthen Neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Join Your Neighbors in giving crime and drugs a going away party!
