National Night Out is an annual celebration that brings police and communities together to strengthen relationships, build trust and promote safer neighborhoods. Events will be held throughout Philadelphia, giving residents an opportunity to meet the police officers and commanders who serve their neighborhoods, get to know their neighbors and enjoy an evening of family-friendly activities.
Police Commissioner Kevin J. Bethel and members of the PPD command staff will visit National Night Out events across the city throughout the evening.
National Night Out was founded in the Philadelphia region in 1984 by Matt Peskin and has since grown into a nationwide event celebrated by thousands of communities across all 50 states. From block parties and cookouts to music, games and community-resource fairs, each neighborhood puts its own unique stamp on the celebration.
A positive, trusting relationship between police and the people we serve is essential to building safer, stronger communities. National Night Out provides an opportunity to continue strengthening those relationships – not only for one evening, but throughout the year.
