The annual National Night Out is here. On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, the residents of the City of York will join millions of others across the country in getting to know their neighbors and making their neighborhoods safer.
At least 10 sites for National Night Out in York City have been organized. Everyone is encouraged to turn on porch lights, leave the home, lock the door, and make a statement about crime by meeting neighbors at a National Night Out site. There will be block parties and family-friendly activities. York City police officers will be visiting sites to build relationships in the community. The mascot McGruff the Crime Dog and friendly therapy dogs from the Police Department will be making the rounds.
