The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is hosting multiple National Night Out events throughout the valley on Oct. 3.

The event began years ago with residents leaving their porch lights on and grew into a national show of neighborhood unity. Officials say the event is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for local anti-crime programs, and provide an event for community members to learn how to protect their neighborhoods.
