National Night Out

It is time to organize your neighborhoods and get together for a safe evening of getting to know each other during National Night Out! City of Oakley officials and members of the Oakley Police Department will be out and about visiting registered neighborhoods from 6PM-9PM.

Your neighborhood is invited to be part of this fun on Tuesday evening, August 6, 2024. National Night Out is designed to:

  • Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
  • Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts.
  • Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police/community partnerships.
  • Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Neighborhoods will be hosting a variety of events ranging from small potlucks and BBQ's to large block parties. Some additional event ideas include, but are not limited to, ice cream socials, disaster preparedness, games, contests, discussing neighborhood issues or setting neighborhood goals, food or clothing donations, plan a clean-up day, beautify a common area, discuss or plan a Neighborhood Watch Program.

It's up to you, be creative, have fun and celebrate your neighborhood!

Register your neighborhood for this year's event today. Registration is free and gives police and other city representatives an opportunity to attend local events as time and circumstances permit. You do not have to be a current Neighborhood Watch neighborhood to participate. National Night Out is for everyone!

Register here and begin planning your event as soon as possible!
