National Night Out (NNO) takes place every year across the U.S. on the first Tuesday in August to promote police-community partnerships and build neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out is a chance for neighbors to step outside and get to know each other and their local police officers, firefighters and city officials by inviting them to block parties, barbeques and festivals.

National Night Out provides families with the unique and exciting opportunity to interact with emergency responders in a way that is fun and positive. See how it feels to sit in the front seat of a police car or a fire engine, and chat with police officers, corrections officers and firefighters about what it’s like to be a first responder!

Not only do you get to learn more about these extraordinary jobs, you’ll connect with the people who do them every day.

We invite people in neighborhoods across Kirkland to organize their own NNO event and invite Kirkland police officers, firefighters and/or City Councilmembers.
