Recognizing August 5, National Night Out, the national coming together of Americans all over the Nation to unite and promote public safety.

H. Res. 621 is a non-binding House Resolution recognizing National Night Out on August 5 (the first Tuesday of August) as a nationwide effort to build better relations between communities and local law enforcement and to promote public safety. Introduced by Rep. Torres (with Rep. Fitzpatrick), the resolution notes the long-running participation of millions of Americans across thousands of communities, including U.S. territories and military bases. It states that this observance helps foster community cohesion and public safety awareness. The resolution requests that law enforcement use National Night Out to strengthen community relationships, and that public safety departments inform communities how to contact 911 responders and understand how these agencies operate. It emphasizes the symbolism and positive impact of National Night Out in uniting the country. This is a symbolic, non-binding expression of the House’s support. It does not create new laws, funding, or mandatory programs, but it encourages agencies to engage with their communities through National Night Out and to share information about emergency contact procedures and duties.
