National Night Out events planned

National Night Out 2012 kicks off in Marquette County Friday, with the first of several events designed to bring neighbors together and fight crime.  Lake Superior Village in Marquette will host a party, beginning at 5 p.m.  (List of Marquette County National Night Out events is posted below.)

National Night Out is designed to strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for local anticrime efforts; and send a message to criminals to let them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Law enforcement agencies, fire departments and emergency service workers also take an active role by visiting the parties and answering home security and general safety questions.
