Yemassee Research Firm Alpha Genesis Supports Local Law Enforcement With 'National Night Out' Co-Sponsorship

YEMASSEE, S.C., August 7, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Local co-sponsors Alpha Genesis and The Town of Yemassee invite neighborhoods throughout the region to join forces with communities throughout the region for the 35th Annual National Night Out. This worldwide event takes place Tuesday, August 7, and promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.

National Project Coordinator, Matt Peskin said, “This is a night for our nation to stand together and promote awareness, safety, and neighborhood unity. National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement. When law enforcement and the community work closely together, some amazing things can happen.”

A splendid time is guaranteed for all.

Dr. Greg Westergaard, President and CEO

National Night Out is designed to:
1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
2) Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts;
3) Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and
4) Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

The event takes place from 5-8 p.m., and residents throughout Yemassee and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside enjoying the shared company of neighbors and police. Many neighborhoods will host special events such as block parties, cookouts, parades, visits from police, flashlight walks, contests, youth activities and anti-crime rallies. Local police and fire departments will provide the community with hot dogs and hamburgers. Several local businesses and non-profits will be present to share in the festivities.
