National Night Out Connects Neighbors, Public Safety Officials

This year's local celebration of National Night Out shifted to the first Tuesday in August to align with the date that most U.S. communities mark the importance of neighbors collaborating with public safety officials for safer neighborhoods.

Neighbors of all ages, as well as elected officials, City staff members and representatives of the Knoxville Fire Department and Knoxville Police Department attended NNO events in Timbercrest, West Hills and Old North on Tuesday, Aug. 2, gathering around pools and playgrounds to play and chat.
