Plano: National Night Out participation record high

October 5, 2008



Neighborhoods throughout Plano are being invited to join with thousands of communities nationwide for the 25th annual National Night Out. Linda Barnes, Plano public safety officer, said this year the participation has doubled.

"We have over 60 neighborhoods and five apartment complexes," Barnes said. "This is the first time we have had the event in October. Texas is the only state (celebrating in October) because of the weather. It proves it's a better time."

Barnes said the idea of National Night Out is simply for neighbors to get to know each other and for citizens to meet their beat officers.
