Let's Plan Ahead for National Night Out 2009
Tigard Police and Target Have Big Plans For National Night Out 2009

This year, an expected 33 million people in more than 10,000 communities across America will join forces on Tuesday, August 4th to promote police-community partnerships. That day National Night Out will bring America together to help combat neighborhood crimes. The Tigard Police Department invites you and your neighbors to be a part of this celebration of neighborhood unity and awareness to bring safety and reduced crime and violence to Tigard!

This year's event will mark the 7th National Night Out in Tigard. Tigard Police are making special efforts to ensure this year's event is a success. Once again Target, the national sponsor for National Night Out, will be working locally with the Tigard Police Department to help get the important message of safer neighborhoods out to the community.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 1st. Join us that day for the National Night Out Kick Off Event. This mini community and safety awareness fair will be held at the Target Store on Hall Blvd. in Tigard. Plan to visit between 11AM and 1PM to take advantage of learning more about safety and awareness for you and your family. There are surprises planned so be sure to attend.

But wait�there's more! Pre-registered neighborhoods can send their representative to the event to pick up the complimentary party packs that Target is assembling. The bags will be filled with items to make your neighborhood celebration even better.

More information including registration forms for neighborhood celebrations are available on-line! Start planning your neighborhood "give crime and drugs a going-away party" today!

Tigard Police thanks Target for their support to help reduce crime in our community. Police cannot do it alone. A safe community is a shared responsibility.
