The National Association of Town Watch introduced National Night Out--America's Night Out Against Crime--in 1984. The night's goals are to
- heighten crime and drug prevention awareness,
- generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts,
- strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and
- send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

National Night Out Against Crime is held annually on the first Tuesday in August.
