National Night Out
National Night Out is an annual event with a focus on crime prevention. The Arkansas City Police Department has participated in National Night Out for over twenty years.
The two night event consists of a community Kick Off party, which is held in a local park and neighborhood block parties. The Kick Off party features a dinner which is served with the assistance of local civic organizations. Fun and games are the agenda for the night which can include inflatables for small kids and karaoke for big kids.
The second night of NNO is when neighborhoods host their own block parties. This allows residents to get to know one another. In 2019, there were 15 different block parties.
During both nights, officers from all shifts come in and participate in the festivities. National Night Out is an amazing opportunity for all of them to create contacts with the community that they might not otherwise be able to make.
The goal of this particular outreach is to strengthen the bonds between our officers and the community, and between the community members themselves.
To register your neighborhood for a block party, send an email with your name, address and telephone number to acpd@arkansascityks.gov or call (620) 441-6601.
