National Night Out (NNO) is an annual event promoting police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. Organizations throughout Charlotte host NNO block parties, cookouts, porch sit-ins, ice cream socials and other activities to show their support of “no tolerance” for crime.  The goal of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is to have 100% officer contact at each registered event.
