part of NNO, activities have expanded considerably over the years to include block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from police, festivals, neighborhood walks, safety fairs, contests, rallies and meetings.
    Peskin said, "It's a wonderful opportunity for communities nationwide to promote police-community partnerships, crime prevention, and neighborhood camaraderie. While the one night is certainly not an answer to crime, drugs and violence, National Night Out does represent the kind of spirit, energy and determination that is helping to make many neighborhoods safer places throughout the year. It [NNO] is a night to celebrate crime prevention successes - and to expand and strengthen      programs for the next 364 days."NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to:

* Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;

* Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs;

* Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships

Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

San Antonio has always had strong and enthusiastic support for and participation in NNO, and won a  national NNO Award in 1998. During NNO 2002, more than 450 San Antonio communities and       approximately 130,000 residents registered to      participate. We hope that NNO 2003 will be even larger!
