Richardson will observe National Night Out (NNO) Tuesday, Oct. 3 from 6-8 p.m., along with cities and towns across Texas. The annual event (held in October in many southern states and in August in more summer-temperate climates) is designed to promote police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to help in crime prevention and enhance quality of life, as neighbors and police gather at “block parties.”
This year in Richardson, police officers, City officials and special guests will visit registered National Night Out party locations in 126 neighborhoods as well as at 11 different parks. The Richardson Police Department will conduct its annual Can-Do Food Drive during the event; see below in Events for more details.
This is the 34th year the City has participated in the event, earning first place nationwide in 2022 in its population category (100,000-299,000 residents), based on events held and number of NNO participants, and second place nationwide in 2021.
