NIGHT TO UNITE

Every year on the 1st Tuesday in August, we take pride in celebrating and bringing our community together by participating in Minnesota Night to Unite.

Night to Unite is a program of the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association (MCPA). It is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anticrime efforts, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

CRIME SCENE UNIT In 2019, the city of Owatonna had 30 block parties that took part in this great celebration of community, crime prevention, and strong police/ community partnership. A strong community makes for a safe community. Everything we do to strengthen the ties among neighbors of all ages, backgrounds, and lifestyles makes our present and future much brighter. Celebrating MINNESOTA NIGHT TO UNITE with the Owatonna Police Department and your neighbors is a positive way to build and nurture our community by starting quite literally, in your own front yard!
