Florissant Police to Participate in 2014 National Night Out

 

The “31st Annual National Night Out” (NNO) campaign has been scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, 2014. National Night Out is designed to:

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

 

Florissant residents are being encouraged to lock their doors, turn on outside lights, and spend the evening outside with their neighbors between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Activities such as block parties, cookouts, visits from police officers, or scheduling a tour of the police station are encouraged.

 

Residents are required to apply for a no cost “Block Party” permit. Permits may be obtained in person from the Mayor’s Office at the Florissant City Hall, or by downloading a permit from the City of Florissant website at, www.florissantmo.com
