The City of Arlington is currently ranked No. 1 for National Night Out participation by communities with a population of 300,000 or more. Last year, more than 210 neighborhoods held NNO parties across The American Dream City. 

National Night Out, held the first Tuesday of October in Texas, promotes crime prevention, police-community partnership and neighborhood camaraderie. It encourages people to turn on their porch lights, step outside, and get to know their neighbors at small block parties. Law enforcement agencies stop by the parties to offer public safety tips and ways to stay connected to their local police departments.
