National Night Out Neighborhood Parties will be held Sunday, October 6, 2024 from 3 to 6 p.m.
The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Services invites everyone to join their neighbors and public safety personnel on Sunday, October 6, 2024, for a night out against crime. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer. National Night Out creates a sense of community by bringing residents and the public safety agencies that serve The Woodlands Township together under positive circumstances.
Participating in National Night Out since 1990, The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Services, public safety and the community have won numerous awards for how we unite and celebrate our police-community partnerships. On Sunday, October 6, 2024, from 3 to 6 p.m., residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on their outside lights and gather with their neighbors. When your neighborhood participates in National Night Out it accomplishes one of the first steps in crime prevention, “neighbors knowing neighbors.”
Hosting a National Night Out party is just the way to bring your neighbors together!
Take this opportunity to message that your neighborhood is united against crime. How you celebrate is up to you. It can be as simple as providing popsicles, or as elaborate as playing games and hosting a barbecue. All you need to do is gather your neighbors and participate! Local law enforcement and The Woodlands Fire Department will briefly visit with many of the neighborhoods that register their parties with The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Services.
Step #1 - Party registration is easy!
In 2023, over 100 public safety personnel visited parties throughout The Woodlands. To join in on the fun and receive a public safety visit, your neighborhood must fill out the registration form.

Even if you want to keep it simple and don’t need supplies or a visit from the various public safety agencies, we encourage you to still register your party. We need to know how many neighborhoods participate in this community-building event. Be an early bird and register your neighborhood party by Friday, September 6, 2024, to be eligible for a prize!

The final day to register and to receive a public safety visit is Friday, September 27, 2024.

I.D. the Burglar Village Challenge
This fun contest is designed to promote neighborhood cooperation, crime prevention awareness, and to test a person’s skill and accuracy in identifying a suspect. One party from each village will be drawn from the parties registered to participate in the challenge. A “burglar,” along with a “good guy” will be escorted by a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputy to the party chosen from each village. The neighborhood must work together as a team to help identify the burglar!
