People across the country held block parties, barbeques and other outdoor activities to celebrate the 28th annual National Night Out, an event dedicated to heightening crime and drug awareness, helping neighbors get to know each other, and giving police an opportunity to introduce themselves to community members. According to nationalnightout.org, events “send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.” Local National Night Out events were held in Mount Carmel, Mount Carmel Township, Shamokin and Zerbe Township.
