National Night Out Tuesday August 5th

On Tuesday, August 5, 2008, neighborhoods across the nation will be hosting block parties and social gatherings to recognize National Night Out. National Night Out (NNO) is a nationwide crime prevention campaign that reminds residents to take a stand against crime, be good neighbors, and join Neighborhood Watch Programs. This is all in the effort to send the message to criminals that our neighborhoods are organized to prevent criminal activity.

The Pomona Police Department will once again host one centralized enormous celebration at the Pomona Civic Center Plaza. We are encouraging all neighborhood watch groups and citizens to unite with us to uniquely celebrate and promote this special evening that signifies Neighbors helping Neighbors to Fight Crime. Neighborhood Watch groups will take part in wholesome family fun, enjoying entertainment, food, and raffles for great prizes.

We are asking if you would like to be a part of this event, by setting up a booth and the having flyers available, for the citizens to learn about your organization. This is a great opportunity to show your support to the residents of this community during this symbolic event.

If you are able to contribute to this event, please respond on or before Monday, July 28, 2008. You may contact the Crime Prevention Unit by calling 909-620-2318. Arrangements can be made for our personnel to pick up donation items directly from you or they can be mailed to address is:
