While Gardner is celebrating a decade doing this event, National Night Out was actually started 40 years ago and is generally celebrated throughout the country on various dates in the early part of August each year as a community-building campaign promoting partnerships to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. It provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
