Get To Know Your Neighbors

Tuesday night's "National Night Out" events are a great opportunity to get out and meet your neighbors.  Block parties and cook-outs are being held in several areas of town to encourage citizen participation in local anti-crime efforts and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organizing to keep crime out.  Several burglaries have been solved or thwarted in recent weeks thanks to observant citizens keeping an eye on what's going on in their neighborhood.  Suspicious activities by unknown people or vehicles should be reported to police.  Police officers will attempt to make appearances at each of the neighborhood get-togethers as manpower allows.  A listing of Duluth "Night Out" events can be found at www.duluthmn.gov/police/nno-listing.cfm
