The Athens-Clarke County Police Department has teamed up with Target for this year’s National Night Out.
This year the crime-awareness event will be held from 5-8 p.m. Saturday in Target’s parking lot at 3065 Atlanta Highway.
National Night Out is designed to heighten crime, drug, and gang prevention awareness; generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
