United States Attorney's Office Joining Law Enforcement, Community Leaders and Residents for National Night Out Events in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah will join their law enforcement partners, neighbors, and communities for National Night Out events in cities across the state.

"The U.S. Attorney's Office is proud to participate in National Night Out. These events provide an important opportunity for meaningful interaction, fostering trust, and strengthening relationships within our communities," said U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak of the District of Utah. "We look forward to engaging with residents and working alongside our law enforcement partners as we continue advancing efforts toward safer and stronger communities throughout the state."

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes partnerships and camaraderie between law enforcement and the communities they serve to make our neighborhoods safer places to live. Millions of people take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities throughout the country on the first Tuesday of August in most areas of the country.

National Night Out was established in 1984 with funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance of the U.S. Department of Justice. The program is administered by the National Association of Town Watch, a nationwide non-profit organization.

Coordinated by local law enforcement and trained volunteers, National Night Out provides an opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Neighborhoods host block parties, cookouts, festivals, parades, safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel and more. National Night Out sends a message that neighbors are united and working together to keep their communities and each other safe.
