National Night Out is literally around the corner! SMPD is inviting local residents to host their very own National Night Out on October 5th.

It's not too late for you to join in the fun.

Here are a few ideas for connecting with your neighbors:

• Share cookies & recipes!
• Watch a movie on your lawn. 
• Sponsor a salsa dancing class on your block
• Neighborhood Dog Show!
• Yoga with Friends
• Karaoke
• Front Yard Luau
• Outdoors Bingo Night!

We hope you will join us for National Night Out – even if doing so merely entails turning on your porch light and celebrating effective Community-Police partnerships using a virtual platform. Remember, together we make a stronger community.
