National Night Out Sponsorship

Each year the Crime Prevention Committee of the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce hosts a BBQ, visits with police, various community organizations, and other activities on the first Tuesday in August.  The location changes but is always held at a local park.

National Night Out is designed to:

• Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness
• Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime efforts
• Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships
• Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
