Recognizing August 6, National Night Out, the national coming together of Americans all over the Nation to unite and promote public safety.

HRES 1408 is a symbolic House resolution recognizing August 6 as National Night Out, an annual event where communities across the U.S. unite with local law enforcement to promote public safety. It does not create new laws or funding but encourages law enforcement and public safety departments to use this day to build community relationships, explain emergency response procedures, and foster awareness. The resolution highlights National Night Out’s 40+ year history of engaging over 16,000 communities and 38 million participants nationwide. It has no direct effect on individuals or policies, serving only as a formal acknowledgment of an existing community safety initiative.
