Get to Know Your Neighbors Aug. 1

On Tuesday, August 1, lock your doors, turn on your outside lights, c’mon outside, and get to know your neighbors. Celebrate National Night Out in St. Mary’s County.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and by bringing police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

We look forward to seeing all the members of our community come together in an effort to build community and prevent crime in our neighborhoods.”
