The Dunwoody Police Department is partnering with Target for the 29th Annual National Night Out event on August 7th, 2012. "National Night Out is a unique crime and drug prevention program that is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch". This will be the 4th year that the Dunwoody Police have participated in this program. Last year over 15,325 communities and 37 million people nationwide participated in National Night Out.
National Night Out, a year-long community building campaign, is designed to: (1) Heighten crime prevention awareness; (2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; (3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and (4) Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
This year, Target will be handing out Frisbees as door prizes. There will be food and dessert served outside in the parking lot between 6PM-8PM. The Dunwoody Police will also have special equipment on display. This would be a great opportunity for the citizens to interact with members of the department and also have their photograph or children's photograph taken with a Dunwoody Police Officer.
The Dunwoody Police Department will also be offering CarFit®, a program helping mature drivers find their perfect fit. Developed through collaboration among the American Society on Aging, AAA, AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association, CarFit is the first program to offer older adults the opportunity to check
how their personal cars "fit" them.
The Society of Former FBI Agents, in conjunction with the Dunwoody Police Department, is participating in the National Child Identification Program, and will distribute child ID kits at the police department's booth. The kits are free and will allow parents to take and retain their child's fingerprints and a DNA sample, as well as to record detailed identifying information. This is more suitable for children age 4 and up.
If you have any questions about this event or program, please contact Officer Tim Fecht at timothy.fecht@dunwoodyga.gov or (678) 382-6917.
