The National Night Out was started in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch, a national crime prevention organization. The goal was to give the United States a "night out against crime." Over 15,500 communities nationwide participate in the National Night Out program, with large-scale celebrations such as the one Carson City has every year, and smaller-scale ones involving demonstrations, block parties, and citizens being urged to leave their lights on against crime.
