National Night Out 2007
The 2007 National Night Out will be held in Jacksonville on August 7th from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM. The event is a cooperative effort between the Jacksonville Police Department, Marine Corps Community Services Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Community Services New River and Onslow County. Together we strive to enhance the cooperative relationship with citizens through Community Watch/Crime Prevention methods.

National Night Out has been a great success in past years and we would like to invite everyone to come out for this event.

The event, held nationally, brings communities nationwide together to celebrate these efforts. This year’s event looks to be as popular as those of previous years and will feature activities for the children as well as educational displays for the adults.

We will also have live music provided by Mardi Gras with Sammy O'Banion and a gala fireworks display to cap off the evening.
