Several Gaithersburg neighborhoods are joining communities across the country to participate in the Annual National Night Out (NNO) Against Crime campaign.

Neighborhoods will hold events to increase drug prevention awareness, generate support for anti-crime programs, encourage residents to be involved in their communities, and send a message that neighborhoods & businesses are organized to fight back against crime.
