National Night Out Peace Rally
This was the first time I heard about the National Night Out (NNO) event. It was the 28th annual this year. NNO was introduced back in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch, a nonprofit crime prevention organization.
Its purpose of the Peace Rally is to heighten awareness and strengthen participation in local anti-crime efforts.
The Hollenbeck community participated in the 28th annual NNO by having a peace rally with local police officers, local residents and church members. More than 250 gathered at the Hollenbeck Police Station to begin the peace rally.
