National Night Out Party Registration
National Night Out on Tuesday, August 4, 2026
Registration is Now Open
REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE JULY 21ST, 2026
National Night Out is a community-building event that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, creating a safer, more caring place to live. Registering your neighborhood party helps us and other public safety agencies visit as many events as possible. We will hold a lottery for the 15 parties we will guarantee to have a Dayton Police Officer visit. You must have a party with more than 10 people to be included in the drawing. Those chosen parties will also be provided with a gift bag with items for the kids that attend your party. If a Dayton Police Officer is available, they will respond to some of the remaining registered parties in the City of Dayton. Only those parties chosen in the lottery will be guaranteed an officer and gift bags.
Registration is now open and will close July 21st, 2026. Those who wish to be included in the lottery drawing must register no later than 5:00 pm on April 15th. The drawing will be held on April 16th and only those parties who are registered by the deadline will be included. When you register, please give a count of how many kids will be attending your party. The host(s) of the parties chosen in the lottery will be notified and will pick up the gift bags between Tuesday July 21st, 2026, and Thursday July 23rd, 2026, at the Dayton Police Department. We also ask that you call the office at 763-427-2017 when you are on your way to pick up items so we can have everything ready to go.
If you wish to host a party, please complete the registration form and register your party today! If you have any questions, contact Officer McAlpine at dmcalpine@daytonpolice.org or call 763-427-2017 .
