2021 Update:  

Until further notice, Police and Fire resources are not available to participate in or to coordinate Night to Unite or block events; however, if you are planning a block party, please submit an application at your earliest convenience.

Night to Unite

Night to Unite is a statewide event, held each year on the first Tuesday in August. The event builds neighborhood camaraderie and fosters partnerships between citizens and public safety organizations in an effort to make our neighborhoods safer.

The Police Department wants your neighborhood gathering to be a successful celebration with a common theme of safety and crime prevention. If you would like to request that Police, Fire, Ambulance, McGruff, gear demo, career discussion, crime prevention topics, elected officials, etc., be part of your event, please fill out and submit the application at least 10 days prior to your event.
