Fairfax County police officials are asking residents to turn on all of their outdoor lights, leave their homes and join their neighbors outside Tuesday evening for the 23rd annual National Night Out to raise awareness of community crime prevention efforts.

Many neighborhoods and homeowners associations sponsor activities as part of the event, including block parties, cookouts, parades and anti-crime rallies. Police officers visit neighborhoods to garner support for citizen and police crime-fighting programs. Police Chief David M. Rohrer is scheduled to visit several neighborhoods.
