College Park to Mark National Night Out at Aviation Museum

On Tuesday, Aug. 7, College Park will join some 15,000 locations across the United States and Canada in marking National Night Out (NNO), an annual observance designed to increase awareness of crime prevention efforts.

Launched in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch, NNO brings together residents, police, and other leaders at community events organized around the theme of public safety.

This year, College Park's main event will be held at the (1985 Corporal Frank Scott Dr.) from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

In addition to local law enforcement, elected officials, and community leaders, the evening will feature free refreshments and a musical performance by a local soloist.

Participants will also have the opportunity to tour the museum and view a police helicopter and fire equipment up close.

For more information, contact your local neighborhood watch representative or call the Department of Public Services at 240-487-3570.
