National Night Out is a great opportunity for citizens and law enforcement to partner up against crime! The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Services invites you to gather today from 3 to 6 p.m. to meet your neighbors and commit to helping law enforcement reduce crime in our community. Each year, The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Services encourages residents to spend the afternoon outside with neighbors, because neighbor knowing neighbor is one of the most effective ways to prevent crime. Local law enforcement and The Woodlands Fire Department will briefly visit with residents of many of the neighborhoods that register their parties with the Township.
