Chino Hills hosts “National Night Out” Kick-Off Meeting

Staff Reports

Chino Hills – This year marks the 10th anniversary of the City of Chino Hills’ participation in the National Night Out (NNO) crime and drug prevention event. Residents can learn more about how to participate at the National Night Out kick-off meeting, held on Thurs., June 4, 7 p.m., in the Community Room at Chino Hills City Hall (14000 City Center Drive).

The meeting will provide information on how to organize your event.  You can also get ideas for activities, and listen as other organizers share what has made their neighborhood events a big success.

This year, the National Night Out event will be held on Tues., Aug. 4.  Last year, 27 neighborhoods and more than 1,400 residents participated at local gatherings to enjoy barbecues, potlucks, or dessert socials.

Those who register their events online at http://www.chinohills.org/nationalnightout by July 16 will receive a neighborhood organizing kit (while supplies last). City Council members, Deputies, the Chino Valley Fire District, Citizens on Patrol – and even McGruff, the Crime Fighting Dog – will visit as many registered events as possible.

National Night Out is an event held in local neighborhoods throughout the nation to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, to strengthen neighborhood spirit, and Police-Community partnerships – and send criminals a message letting them know neighborhoods are organized. It is a time for neighbors to unite for safer neighborhoods and communities.

This partnership benefits our community by helping to keep our City safe and crime statistics low. For more information, please call (909) 364-2713.
