Registration now open for National Night Out 2014
National Night Out is Tuesday, August 5, 2014!
Start organizing your neighborhood to participate in the 31st Annual National Night Out.
Join the Newark Police Dept. staff along with RAVEN Volunteers, CERT, HAM Radio, Alameda County Fire, the Newark Library, the Silliman Center, neighborhood groups and City leaders in celebrating the 31st Annual National Night Out on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. The typical way to participate in National Night Out, is to organize a block or neighborhood party. Many will organize barbecues or ice cream socials where neighbors share good food, laughter and updates on what is happening in the neighborhood. National Night Out provides the opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other a little better and sends a strong message to criminals that our community will look out for each other by reporting suspicious activity in their neighborhood. Throughout the night, city staff will make visits to the parties where they will share information, network and answer questions that community members may have.
You can register your event with the Newark Police Department by visiting www.newark.org . Type “National Night Out” in the search box and you will be directed to the registration page. The registration deadline is 5:00 p.m. on July 25, to be considered for a visit by the Police, Fire, CERT, Hams. If you plan to block off your street for your celebration, you will need to obtain a block party permit. The deadline to file for a permit is Friday, July 15, 2014. Permit information can be obtained at:

Our goal is to provide each party with one visit from city staff, but it will be dependent upon the number of parties and staff who sign up to participate.
