The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department joined with the City of Boston’s Police Department Crime Watch Unit, and several corporations and neighborhood organizations, to help make National Night Out 2007 a tremendous success.

Taking part in various National Night Out–related block parties and community events this summer, as well as the District Open Houses hosted by the Boston Police Department, the Sheriff’s Department visited numerous communities throughout Suffolk County including Roxbury, East Boston, Dorchester, Mattapan, Allston/Brighton, Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, the South End, Hyde Park, the North End, Roslindale, Charlestown, Chelsea, and others.

An estimated 9,000–plus people attended the Boston Citywide National Night Out celebration at the Franklin Park Zoo on August 7th, the official National Night Out date throughout the country, and more than 100 related block parties were held across the City to mark the event.
