National Night Out 2011

The Ogden Avenue Block Watch partnered with the Columbus Division of Police and the Target Corporation on Tuesday, Aug. 2nd, 2011 for the Ogden Avenue Block Watch National Night Out Neighborhood Festival which was an evening long event that promotes crime prevention. The event was located on S. Ogden Avenue just north of W. Mound Street (approximately at 700 South Ogden Avenue). This area is in the central Hilltop area of West Columbus.

Goals of the event are for residents to build a trust with one another along with members of law enforcement, a chance to open the lines of communication with their neighbors along with the many elected officials which will be in attendance, and also a chance to enlighten and educate children and adults on issues facing the community. Along with crime prevention activities, there will be plenty of entertainment on hand.

National Night Out is a nationwide event that invites residents to stand with community leaders and local police to give crime a going away party. This is the 27th year for the event that has over 10,000 participating communities. The National Association of Town Watch sponsors the nationwide event. The South Ogden Avenue Block Watch hosts annual cleanups, National Night Out Festival, and forums bringing together residents of the area with Police and local leaders.
