Neighborhood Night Out
Neighborhood Night Out
July 13, 2023
Each year in July, the Cheyenne Police Department (CPD) hosts Neighborhood Night Out; a community-building event designed to bring neighbors, businesses, and police together in partnership against crime in Cheyenne.
Neighborhood Night Out is a great way to get to know others in your community and have fun! When neighbors are able to meet and connect with one another and the officers that serve them, we are able to work together to prevent crime.
Neighborhood Captains: You are the most important element in our Neighborhood Night Out! Each year, neighborhood “Block Captains” organize specific block parties featuring cookouts, live music, and entertainment. You will plan your block party with the Police Department, recruit neighborhood helpers, and work with sponsoring businesses/groups to host the best block party in the City!
Cheyenne Businesses, Churches and Groups: We need you! Rather than donations of money, we ask that you work with neighborhood Captains and generously provide your resources to a block party looking for help. You can determine how to assist, as it may come in many forms such as food/catering, live music, games, or attractions such as blow up jumpers, balloons, or water games. The program will recognize every supporting business, church, and/or specialty group by every means possible throughout the year.
Every block party will be unique - individual neighborhoods may plan vastly different meals, activities, and entertainment.
Neighborhood Night Out seeks to enhance the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Officers and neighbors working together DO make a difference!
