On the evening of Tuesday, August 2, 2022, neighborhoods throughout Hoquiam will join forces across the country with over 16,000 communities for the “National Night Out”
against crime. Hoquiam has been a proud participant for many years and we are asking for participants to host parties in their neighborhoods again this year.
National Night Out provides an opportunity for our community members to get to know one another and build strong networks of communication about what is happening in the
neighborhood.
All you need to do is host a block party, invite your neighbors, and get to know each other better! We recommend inviting everyone over for a potluck or BBQ. Most block parties
are from 6:00 PM to around 9:00 PM and are a great way to get together and have fun!
Hoquiam public officials, police officers, firefighters and Crime Watch volunteers will drop in at each block party to visit and talk about important crime prevention and general
safety tips. With any luck, K9 Niko will make an appearance at your block party and he would love to socialize and take a photograph with you! But keep an eye on the BBQ, he is
quick to snag a burger or two for himself.
National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in local anti-crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood spirit
and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back!
The Police Department will be providing free party items to each block party host. To sign up for a block party or to obtain more information regarding this event, please contact
Tracy Wood at 360-538-3970 or twood@cityofhoquiam.com or Officer Jerad Spaur at the Hoquiam Police Department at 360-532-0892, ext. 283 or jspaur@cityofhoquiam.com.
Please indicate when signing up if you will need barricades to shut down your street so we can arrange to have those dropped off.
