 Nineteen Knox County neighborhoods participated in
National Night out on Tuesday, August 5th. This was the 25th year
that thousands of communities nationwide joined forces to help fight crime and
drugs by locking their doors, turning on outside lights and spending the evening
with neighbors and law enforcement. KCSO had K-9s, officers, and
motorcycles at most of the locations.
Night Out was designed to bring attention to crime and
drug prevention awareness and general support of anti-crime efforts. It’s also
a good way to strengthen neighborhood and police partnerships and it sends a
message to criminals that a neighborhood is organized and fighting
back.
Here is a list of the other neighborhoods
participated:
Waterford
Trails End
Summer Place
Twin Brooks
Morgan

Shannon Valley
Fox Run
Cove Ridge
