Applications from the Caddo Sheriff's Office are now available for citizens of unincorporated areas of Caddo Parish who would like to close their streets for National Night Out block parties.

The applications are available at any of the sheriff's substations or on-line at caddosheriff.org. They must be completed and returned to the Sheriff's Office substation nearest to the applicant’s residence no later than September 30. If approved, a copy of the application will serve as the citizen's permit to block portions of their street.

National Night Out is being celebrated in Caddo and Bossier parishes on October 4. Residents are encouraged to take a public stand against crime by participating in neighborhood gatherings and crime prevention events.

“It’s a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, show support for law enforcement, and learn what’s happening close to home,” said Sheriff Steve Prator. “Criminals can’t win if we are united in our approach to fight crime.”

For more information about National Night Out, contact the Sheriff's Office Community Programs Unit at 681-0875.
