National Night Out aims to be neighborly Englewood, Sheridan events bring police, public together By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood and Sheridan will hold their National Night Out activities on Aug. 4 This is the 32nd year the National Association of Town Watch has sponsored and promoted the event it calls the nation’s night out against crime. The program’s goal is to urge people to come out of their homes, meet their neighbors and strengthen police-community relations. Toni Arnoldy, Englewood police community relations specialist, asked all those who are planning events to register, and added that the deadline for registration is July 28. “We have 14 registrations submitted plus another five or six who have said they will have
block parties but haven’t filed the paperwork so far,” she said. “I expect we’ll have at least 30 or 40 events again this year.” Events range from a dozen people gathering at a neighbor’s house for an ice cream social to residents of a neighborhood blocking off the street for a block party and holding a pot luck dinner. Almost every year, one of the largest events is put on by Englewood Bible Church. Volunteers serve free food, there are activities like a bounce house for children and the event usually attracts more than 300 people. Arnoldy and Neighborhood Watch volunteers work to promote the program and, on National Night Out, police officers, Denver firefighters, Denver Health paramedics and city officials will spread out across Englewood, visiting as many NNO events as possible. For information about the event or activities in a neighborhood, call Arnoldy at 303-762-2490 or email her at tarnoldy@englewoodgov.org. Sheridan will hold a citywide event from 6 to
8 p.m. on the lawn of city hall at 4101 S. Federal Blvd. The event will feature a K-9 demonstration, activities like face painting and free hot dogs. “I headed the effort that got our event started in 2008,” said Marilyn Duckett, Sheridan police administrative coordinator. “We wanted our residents to come, have fun and get to know our police officers.” Duckett, a Sheridan native, said she likes planning and putting on the event as a way for her, the police and the city to give back to the community. She said residents like the event and each year about 800 people attend the gathering. The first National Night Out was introduced in 1984 with the about 400 communities in 23 states participating. Last year, about 38 million people in about 16,124 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide took part in National Night Out events.
