National Night Out is a program sponsored by HPD to join neighbors together in an effort to “Give Neighborhood Crime and Drugs a Going Away Party”.

Lazybrook has traditionally had neighbors gather to get to know each other and share fellowship and snacks.

Please talk to your neighbors and block captain to plan your event for this year.

If your block is hosting a party please let me know because HPD would like to stop by and visit with as many neighbors as possible.
