Recognizing August 5, National Night Out, the national coming together of Americans all over the Nation to unite and promote public safety.

HRES 621 is a symbolic resolution recognizing August 5 as "National Night Out," an annual event where communities across the U.S. unite with local law enforcement to promote public safety. It encourages law enforcement departments to strengthen community relationships and directs public safety agencies to educate residents on contacting emergency services and understanding their roles. The resolution highlights that over 38 million people in 17,000 communities have participated in this 40-year tradition, including U.S. territories and military bases, to foster safer neighborhoods. It does not create new laws or funding but formally acknowledges the event’s role in building community safety awareness.
