National Night Out on Oct. 5

National Night Out, an annual event to support safe neighborhoods, is on Tuesday, Oct. 5, in Georgetown. Block parties are being organized from 6 to 9 p.m.

Last year, National Night Out block parties were held virtually due to the pandemic. This year, as block party activities return throughout Georgetown, the City encourages residents to continue to physically distance and use proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

If your neighborhood is hosting a block party and would like Georgetown Police Department officers, other local law enforcement officers, elected officials, Georgetown firefighters and EMS technicians, or other City employees to attend, please register by Sept. 16.

The Georgetown Police Department is hosting a reception for hosts of NNO block parties 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 28, at the Public Safety Operations and Training Center, 3500 D.B. Wood Road.
