On the first Tuesday of August, neighborhoods throughout Burlingame are invited to join forces with thousands of other communities nationwide for the National Night Out crime prevention event.  National Night Out is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch and is co-sponsored locally by the Burlingame Police Department.  Over 15,000 communities from all 50 states are expected to participate in this year’s “America’s Night Out Against Crime.”

From 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., people in neighborhoods throughout Burlingame are asked to turn on their outside lights and spend the evening outdoors with neighbors.  Many neighborhoods will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties and cookouts.

If you plan on hosting a neighborhood event and would like members of the Burlingame Police Department to visit, please RSVP to Captain Bob Boll by phone at 650-777-4177 or by email at boll@burlingamepolice.org
