(WASHINGTON, DC) – On Tuesday, August 1, at 4:45 p.m, Mayor Muriel Bowser will join the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to kick off the 34th Annual National Night Out (NNO) at King Greenleaf Recreation Center in Ward 6. An annual community-building event, NNO seeks to promote police-community partnerships and highlight crime prevention efforts such as the neighborhood watch programs. The Bowser Administration will host seven community events across the District such as cookouts, open houses, block parties, candlelight vigils, and athletic tournaments.

Last year, after a full year of implementing Mayor Bowser’s Safer, Stronger DC plan, Washington, DC has seen a 26 percent decrease in all violent crime, with a 10 percent reduction in homicides, 23 percent decrease in assaults with a dangerous weapon, 32 percent decrease in robberies, and a five percent reduction in sexual assaults.
