In Texas, the first Tuesday in October means National Night Out, which aims to build neighborhood camaraderie, promote police-community partnerships and, ultimately, make our neighborhoods safer. On National Night Out, neighborhoods host block parties and cookouts with visits from police officers and emergency personnel to increase awareness of police programs and enhance police-community relations. Here, we’ve gathered a list of details for National Night Out in Buzz-area neighborhoods:
