National Night Out

The 43rd annual National Night Out Kick-Off event will take place on Tuesday, October 6th, 2026 at Corpus Christi Housing Authority, however this event will not be open to the public. Chief Mike Markle and CCPD Officers will do their best to stop by the registered NNO events on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 starting at 6 p.m.

Residents are asked to turn on their outside lights, on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and spend the evening outdoors.

Start planning now for a fun celebration to get to know your neighbors! Getting to know your neighbors assists in CCPD's mission: to work as an equal partner with the community to reduce crime and the fear of crime and enhance public safety.

Hosting a National Night Out event doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Here are some ideas to keep it simple and share the costs:

• Email or hand deliver homemade invitations to all of your neighbors on your block.
   
• Host a front yard potluck: Ask everyone to bring a lawn chair and food to share. Play games with the adults and kids!
   
• Ask neighbors to turn on their lights and come outside for a walk or stop by your event.
   
• Say hello, introduce yourself, help new neighbors meet each other, and share contact information.

Once you decide to host an event, please register your event with the Corpus Christi Police Department by filling out a short online form. We will do our best to stop by on October 6. Remember, any large block party (special event street closure) requires a traffic control plan that needs to be approved by ROW Management. A special event application must be submitted through the City of Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department.
