Urbandale Police Win National Award for National Night Out

PRESS RELEASE:

On Dec. 9, 2011, the National Association of Town Watch sent out letters advising groups that they had won a National Award.

Urbandale Police Department was one of only two agencies within Iowa to receive such a letter.  Urbandale Police was selected as a National Award Winner for its Outstanding Participation in the 28th Annual National Night Out crime, drug and violence prevention program.

This year’s event involved 37.1 million people in 15,325 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide.

We would like to thank Target, local businesses, the media and civic organizations for their support to help make Urbandale’s National Night Out award winning worthy.

Without the public’s support, the National Night Out would not have been so successful.

This was Urbandale Police Departments third year hosting National Night Out with well over 1,000 attending the Aug. 2, 2011 event.  This is the second year in a row that Urbandale Police has been awarded a National Award for Outstanding Participation.
