The NOPD is encouraging all community members to host a neighborhood block party to raise awareness of best-practices for preventing and reporting crime.
The 2019 Night Out Against Crime Kick-off event will take place at 5 p.m. on October 15, 2019 on the Lafitte Greenway, located at 1971 St. Louis Street.
Representatives from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as city officials and neighborhood organizations will be in attendance to provide resources, family-friendly activities and interact with residents.
Residents, businesses and community organizations can register their parties for free with the NOPD online at: https://nola.gov/nopd/night-out/
Chief Ferguson and the NOPD Commanders for each district will be moving between events throughout the night, reaching out to the community and thanking them for their support. The last day to register your party is Friday, October 11, 2019.
All public sites must be pre-approved for use by the individual agency that manages the site before they are registered with the NOPD. Example: Any parties being hosted at a NORDC facility, must be approved by NORDC.
