House would encourage police to improve community ties on National Night Out
This resolution would formally recognize August 4, 2026, as National Night Out. It would encourage police and public safety departments to use this day to build stronger relationships with their communities. It also asks departments to share information on how people can best contact 911 and other emergency services.
Today, National Night Out is an existing event where over 38 million people in 17,000 communities nationwide connect with local law enforcement. If this resolution passes, the House of Representatives would formally recognize August 4, 2026, as National Night Out. This would add an official encouragement for police and public safety departments to use the event to strengthen community ties. It would also educate people on emergency services.
