This resolution recognizes August 4, 2026, as National Night Out, an annual event held on the first Tuesday of August where communities across the country come together to strengthen relationships between residents and local law enforcement while promoting public safety. The resolution acknowledges that National Night Out has grown significantly over more than 40 years, now involving over 38 million people in more than 17,000 communities across the United States, including territories and military bases. The resolution encourages law enforcement departments to use the occasion to improve community relationships and to educate the public about how to contact emergency services and understand how police carry out their duties. This is a symbolic measure that does not allocate any funding or establish new programs, but rather celebrates an existing community initiative and calls for continued participation and engagement between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
