Hanover, Va. – The time has come to start planning for the 40^th annual National Night Out 2023 in Hanover County.  The date for National Night Out is Tuesday August 1, 2023.  National Night Out is an annual event designed to strengthen our communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners.  The goal is to heighten crime-prevention awareness, build support and participation in local anticrime programs, and most importantly, send a message that our neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.  It’s also the perfect opportunity to get to know your neighbors even better.  

This year, the Sheriff’s Office will be holding a National Night Out kickoff event on Saturday, July 29, 2023, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Green Top Sporting Goods located at 10150 Lakeridge Parkway. Our kickoff event will have law enforcement and interactive displays on hand, to include children’s games and activities, including the Fire Department Safety House and a Medevac helicopter.

In 2022, Hanover County once again ranked 1^st in Virginia and 3^rd in the nation for communities of a similar size.  Another excellent example of the partnership between the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office and the community we serve. 

If your community is planning to have an event on this night to celebrate National Night Out, please register online at NNO 23 Registration Form or if you would like more information, please contact Deputy Barry Bland at 804-365-7116 or by email at nationalnightout@hanovercounty.gov by July 7, 2023, so that we can make plans to stop by and thank the community for their support in keeping our communities safe.
