DEWITT POLICE NIGHT OUT

2022 Police Night Out recap...

National Night Out is designed to: 1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; 2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime program efforts; 3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and 4) Send a message to criminals that DeWitt neighborhoods are on watch for suspicious or illegal activity.

This years event had a smaller turnout than previous years. Our event had some competition this year with the Mississippi Valley Fair entertainment and the absence of some regular events added to the decline of attendants.  

However, the Boy Scouts Troop 92 still served over 400 hot dogs and chips and over 400 bottles of water drank. 

Again this year, kids enjoyed face painting, balloon animals and an inflatable obstacle course.  The DeWitt Fire Department brought trucks for people to explore and the Hidden In Plain Site trailer was available for viewing.   

Heartland Jamz kept the music going from the band shell and several local organizations were able to provide useful information to our guests from the Lion's Pavilion.

Officers and Reserves handed out police tattoos and NNO bracelets. 

A huge THANK YOU, goes out to all that attended, volunteered, sponsored, donated, participated and provided a crime-free night for all ages.
