On Tuesday, Aug. 2, the City of La Mesa will participate in National Night Out (NNO).
Every August, La Mesa Neighborhood Watch groups organize fun and informative community events with their neighbors and friends to promote crime prevention and strengthen police and community partnerships.
From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 2, residents in neighborhoods throughout La Mesa are asked to spend the evening outside with their neighbors and police.
While the traditional “lights on” and front porch vigils remain a part of NNO, activities have expanded to include a variety of events such as block parties, pot lucks, and cookouts. Members of the La Mesa Police Department and City officials will meet with these groups to share information and field questions about neighborhood and city concerns.
The La Mesa Police Department will visit all community events that are registered with its department.
