The event is being organized to bring the community together in a positive way with area services, neighborhood groups, businesses, fire departments, and local police departments. While the one night is certainly not an answer to crime, drugs, and violence, Aquidneck Night Out does represent the kind of spirt, energy, and determination that is helping to make many neighborhoods a safe place throughout the year. Aquidneck Night Out is a night to celebrate safety and crime prevention successes and to strengthen both police and community relationships. We are hoping to offer child seat installation, child identification kits, gun locks, information on bike safety, information on local community services, and touch a truck/cruiser/boat. We would like you to participate in this community event by setting up a table to familiarize the public with your services. The goal is to have a safe, fun, and informative night for families. We hope you will help make this event a huge success.
