Get Ready for National Night Out

Community members are invited to register their neighborhoods for participation in National Night Out on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. National Night Out is proudly sponsored locally by Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative.

National Night Out is a nationwide campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to help make communities safer and more caring places to live.

St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office deputies, Maryland State Police, elected officials, volunteer fire departments and rescue squads, and other community representatives will fan out across St. Mary’s County from 6 to 8pm in participating neighborhoods.

Neighborhoods planning to participate are asked to register with the sheriff’s office, even if they have already signed up through the National Night Out website. This helps ensure that all of the events are included in local planning, coordination, and outreach efforts.

The deadline to register with the sheriff’s office is Tuesday, July 28, 2026.
