National Night Out is a unique crime and drug prevention event that involves citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials coming together in a show of solidarity against crime. The first National Night Out took place in 1984. That first year, 2.5 million Americans took part across 400 communities in 23 states. Now in its 31st year, National Night Out involves over 37.8 million people and 16,124 communities from all fifty states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. Henry County began participating in 2001 and every year draws larger crowds interested in taking part in this stand against crime.
Henry County’s event is made possible through the generosity of local merchants and businesses, and the sponsorship of Target.
National Night Out will take place in front of the Target Department Store, 1850 Jonesboro Rd., in McDonough. For more information, contact 770-288-8200.
