Tuesday: Cops, Citizens Show Community Spirit for National Night Out

National Night OutTuesday, Aug. 2 is National Night Out, the annual neighborhood-based crime and drug prevention event.

It’s an opportunity to show neighborhood spirit and strengthen partnerships with local police.

Reston Community Center will have a kickoff event from noon to 2 p.m. on the plaza in front of the Hunter Woods location.

Over in Herndon, Herndon Police have lots of activities planned too. There are gatherings planned in about 15 neighborhoods, as well as at Haley Smith Park. See this list on Herndon Police’s Facebook page.
