Night Out Against Crime 2009 NIGHT OUT This year, night out is on Tuesday, August 4, 2009. REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSEDYou should register in the precinct your neighborhood is located in. This year the Seattle Police Department is using Night Out to thank our strong community partners. Night Out is a great opportunity to celebrate your efforts to keep your neighborhood safe. Pat each other on the back for your continued involvement and dedication to public safety. It is also a great time to invite new neighbors to join you and talk with friends and family who may not enjoy the benefits of a Block Watch about getting one started. And we'll have our officers out to as many Night Out celebrations as we can, to say "Thank You" in person! WE NEED NIGHT OUT PHOTOS! Is your block doing something unique and fun to celebrate night out this year? SPD would greatly appreciate any photos of your event to use for future Night Out advertising and other community publications. Please send photos to spdwebservices@seattle.gov with a short description of your Night Out event. Please include a contact name and email, so we can contact you if we decide to use your photo. WHAT IS NIGHT OUT? “Night Out” is a national Crime Prevention event. It is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood support in anti-crime efforts, and unite our communities. It is a great chance to learn about crime prevention, while also celebrating your community and spending time with your neighbors. FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT NIGHT OUT Will I be notified when you receive my registration? Because of the volume of registrations received, no official notification will be sent out. Unless you receive your registration back, assume that it has been received and that your block is ready to go. How do I close my street for Night Out? If you do not live on an arterial street and you do not close your intersection, you are welcome to close the street to traffic for your Night Out Celebration. Indicate on the registration form that you plan to close the street. Individual blocks are responsible for providing barricades, but a street closure sign can be downloaded from this website. On the registration form please mark not only the street name but also the hundred block of the street. Is there a fee to close my street? The City waives the fee for Night Out participants. What if an emergency vehicle needs to get through during our Night Out Celebration? When setting up for your event, make sure to keep tables to one side of the street and assign two individuals to respond to the end of the street to remove the barricades for the vehicle. How do I request Police or Fire participation in my Night Out Celebration? All of the registered Night Out Events are shared with the individual precincts as well as the fire department. As time allows, personnel who work in your neighborhood will drop by. We ask that you not call the individual Fire Stations, as the number of calls could overwhelm them.
