Murfreesboro Celebrates 20th National Night Out Against Crime

The Murfreesboro Police Department is partnering with the Murfreesboro Housing Authority,

Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation, Middle Tennessee Association of Realtors, AARP, and

others to host National Night Out Against Crime Tuesday, August 1, 2017.

National Night Out is an opportunity for residents to meet their neighbors, law enforcement

officers, public officials, and other community service providers in an informal setting with the

goal of increasing communication about crime prevention.

The partnering agencies will be hosting Night Out activities from 5:00p.m. until 8:00p.m at

SportsCom, Patterson Park and the downtown public square. Spring Valley Apartment residents

are also celebrating the occasion. Free food, information and activities for children and families

will be provided at each location. There will be a “shred truck” at the downtown location for free

on-site shredding of up to 3 boxes of personal papers during this event.

“National Night Out Against Crime is a national crime prevention event designed to heighten

crime prevention awareness and build relationships between Murfreesboro residents and police

officers,” said Chief Karl Durr. “It is a great chance to spend time with your neighbors and the

police officers who patrol your neighborhood.”

This is the 20th year the City has participated in the program.

Sites include:

 SportsCom

 Patterson Park
