National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that takes place on the first Tuesday in August.
The Manitowoc Police Department continues to partner with the Manitowoc Public Library to provide a family-friendly, community-wide event. In the past, this event has featured a K-9 demo, a drone demo, emergency vehicles, the opportunity to create a child ID kit, and the chance to interact with many of our community partners.
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
