National Night Out is a nationwide event established in 1984 to generate the participation in local anti-crime programs. In 2017, ordinance 70609 moved the National Night Out date in the City of St. Louis to the first Tuesday in October from the traditional first Tuesday in August.

National Night Out is designed to:

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

Registration for the 2019 National Night Out begins Monday, August 5th, 2019. For more information, contact the Neighborhood Stabilization Team at (314) 657-1392.
