One night a year across the country, neighbors and law enforcement bring back the true sense of community and celebrates partnerships.

It’s time to get your neighbors together, host a block party, relax at a community pool, or enjoy a summer evening at your local park.

SVPD representatives, Target volunteer employees, and many others will visit each block party. It will be a fun and safe evening for all.

For more information on how you can keep your family and neighborhood safe, join this nationwide event.

How can you join National Night Out?

• Block Party fee is waived
• Register your block party, receive an application from the SVPD, or download the Block Party Application

Simi Valley residents & neighborhoods across the nation areasked to lock their doors, turn on their outside lights and spend the evening with their neighbors and Police Department representatives.

I also challenge all block parties to please participate in our 5th annual food drive for our local food banks. Over 800 pounds of donations were collected last year thanks to our generous citizens.
