HISTORY
National Night Out, ‘America’s Night Out Against Crime,’ was introduced by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) in 1984 to prevent crime, drugs and violence in cities across America. That first year, 400 communities in 23 states participated in National Night Out. Nationwide, 2.5 million Americans took part in 1984. The 28th Annual National Night Out last August involved 37.0 million people in 15,110 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide.

Westview Neighborhood Cookout

The first annual Westview Neighborhood Cookout was held this past Saturday at Ontario Park. It was a huge success! Neighbors, police officers, firefighters, and local politicians were all in attendance. The community raised substantial funds and gathered donations to make it possible. There was food, music, games for the kids, and lots of great dialog. If you missed it this year make sure to catch it next year!
