How often does National Night Out take place?

• A. Once a year
• B. Monthly
• C. Every two years
• D. Every week

Answer: (A)

National Night Out is designed as a yearly, nationwide event to promote crime prevention and police–community partnerships. It invites neighborhoods to come together for block parties and activities to build positive relationships with local law enforcement. Because the purpose and structure center on one annual observance, it occurs once a year. While many communities coordinate it on the first Tuesday in August, the key point is the annual cadence, not monthly, weekly, or biennial.
