The Raleigh Police Department is set to host several National Night Out events on Tuesday, August 5. This event, held nationwide, aims to foster police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.
National Night Out offers families, residents, and local organizations a chance to meet Raleigh police officers in a positive environment. The celebration will feature block parties, cookouts, safety demonstrations, games, and visits from RPD officers and special units.
“National Night Out allows us to connect with the community beyond emergency calls,” said Chief Rico Boyce. “It’s a chance for us to strengthen relationships, listen, and stand together to build safer neighborhoods.”
The Raleigh Police Department is encouraging neighborhoods across the city to register their events and participate. Whether it’s a backyard gathering or a large community festival, each event contributes to uniting Raleigh under the common goal of public safety and trust.
Residents are invited to view Raleigh’s National Night Out events or find one nearby. To register for the 2026 National Night Out events, emails can be sent to nationalnightout@raleighnc.gov.
