National Night Out

First responders were at 11 locations scattered around Odessa for National Night Out Tuesday in Odessa. National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness while generating support and participation in local anti-crime partnerships. The National Association of Town Watch (NATW) officially agreed to have a National Night Out for Texas on the first Tuesday of October in 2008 rather than August like other states.
