Register for Hayward's National Night Out

Information submitted by Hayward Police Nixle Alerts:

Start organizing your neighborhood to participate in the 31st Annual National Night Out. 

Join Hayward Police staff along with community organizations, neighborhood groups and City leaders in celebrating the 31st Annual National Night Out on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. The typical way to participate in National Night Out is to organize a block or neighborhood party. Many will organize barbecues or ice cream socials where neighbors share good food, laughter and updates on what is happening in the neighborhood.

National Night Out provides the opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other a little better and sends a strong message to criminals that our community will look out for each other by reporting suspicious activity in their neighborhood. Between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m., city staff will make visits to the parties where they will share information, network and answer questions that community members may have. Our goal is to provide each party with one visit from city staff, but it will be dependent upon the number of parties and staff who sign up to participate. 

You can register your event with the Hayward Police Department by visitingwww.haywardpd.net, and clicking on “More Information” under “National Night Out." The registration deadline is 5:00 p.m. on July 25, to be considered for a visit by the police or fire department.
