Suisun City – The always popular and nationally recognized National Night Out (NNO) is right around the corner, set to occur on the evening of Tuesday, August 2nd.
One night a year, everyone in the community is invited to join with friends and neighbors in block parties across Suisun City to focus on public safety awareness and basic safety prevention techniques. “This is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors and at the same time stand together against criminals who prey on the innocent” said Chief Ed Dadisho.  It’s all part of National Night Out 2011 a nationwide effort to build safer communities through the old-fashioned small town virtues of getting to know your neighbors and watching out for each other.
National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anticrime efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and to send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and united in preventing crime, and taking back our neighborhoods.
From 5 – 8 p.m. on August 2nd Suisun Police Department will be hosting a community block party at Heritage Park located on Village Drive between Merganser and Pintail drives. The event will bring together various organizations committed to promoting community unification. This extraordinary event will include free hot dogs, informational booths and safety demonstrations by local public safety agencies. All residents are invited to attend and join in the festivities.
In addition to the community block party, various Neighborhood Watch groups will also be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cookouts, ice cream socials, pot lucks and informal gatherings for their areas.  City Leaders, Fire Fighters and Police Officers will visit such parties throughout the evening.
Lock your doors, turn on your porch light and spend the evening with your neighbors, your friends and your public safety officials.
