BUCYRUS―Residents throughout Bucyrus are gearing up for National Night Out 2019 on Tuesday evening.

“Neighbors who get to know each other are more likely to notice if something is wrong or strange in their neighborhood. They watch out for each other,” said Bucyrus Police Chief Dave Koepke.

National Night Out began in 1984 after it was introduced by Matt Peskin, the founder and executive director of the National Association of Town Watch. The goal of the event is to foster a strong relationship between neighbors and law enforcement.

“National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live,” said Koepke.

He said that the Bucyrus Neighborhood News Network Neighborhood Watch and the City of Bucyrus have been holding the event for nearly two decades.

“It also provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances,” said Koepke. “This year, we are promoting the Dog Walker Watch Program. It’s another chance for people to be observant of what is going on in their neighborhood while out walking their dogs. If something is amiss, they can report it to us.”
