Several hundred people gathered
at North Park on the afternoon August 7, 2012 to celebrate National
Night Out, a
nationwide crime prevention effort that emphasizes building a partnership
between the police and the community. The
local event was sponsored locally by United
Neighbors of Fall River
and involved Mayor
William Flanagan, the Fall River Police
Department, Bristol County District
Attorney Sam Sutter, Community Development Recreation and
dozens of local agency representatives who were on hand to pass out
information and involve children in a variety of games.
National Night Out is designed to: 1)
heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; 2) generate support for, and
participation in, local anti-crime programs; 3) strengthen neighborhood
spirit and police-community partnerships; and 4) send a message to
criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized. Click
