Night to Unite

Contact us

THANK YOU to all who participated in Night to Unite 2023! Again we found that the best Tuesday is the First Tuesday in August - Night to Unite bringing the community together to celebrate public safety.

We look forward to gathering with the community during Night to Unite on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.

The Sheriff Office coordinates Night to Unite (National Night Out) in the communities of Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Little Canada, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights. White Bear Township.

Night to Unite (a.ka. National Night Out) is a statewide event that builds and fosters community bonds between citizens, businesses, and public safety organizations, such as the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office. This annual celebration occurs on the first Tuesday in August and gathers neighborhoods and public safety personnel together for an evening to promote safe communities.

Night to Unite goals are to:

  • Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.
  • Generate support and participation in crime prevention and community policing programs.
  • Strengthen neighborhood spirits and public safety-community partnerships.
  • Let criminals know that you are committed to keeping your neighborhood safe.

Neighborhoods across the state display outdoor lights and front porch vigils and celebrate with a variety of events and activities, including block parties and cookouts, with visits from sheriff’s offices, police and fire departments, and elected officials.

Night to Unite has proven to be an effective, inexpensive, and enjoyable opportunity to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in pursuit of safer communities. Community benefits often extend beyond this single evening event as neighbors get to know each other and the public safety agencies that serve them.
