Join the Fairburn Police and Fire Departments on August 1, from 6 p.m.-10 p.m. in Duncan Park for “National Night Out.”

What is National Night Out? It's America's Night Out Against Crime! The "23rd Annual National Night Out" (NNO), a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). Residents are invited to be a part of the city’s NIGHT OUT 2006 team. Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 34 million people participated in NNO 2005. The program 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;

•Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

An evening of fun for the entire family is planned. Stay tuned to Fairburn Channel 7 for additional details.
