The 2023 Night Out Against Crime will take place on Tuesday, October 3. This year marks the 40th year of the nationwide event. National Night Out is a yearlong community building campaign designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, generate support and participation in local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

The event will have a K-9 demonstration, free food, games, entertainment and many other activities and fun for the kids. Agencies will also have various fleet equipment available for viewing at the event. The Thibodaux Family Church location (785 N. Canal Boulevard) & the Thibodaux Police Department Housing Authority (1425 Eagle Drive) will be the only two locations available to citizens within the City Limits of Thibodaux. Please come out and share this great partnership between law enforcement and the community.
