National Night Out

The North Houston District’s annual National Night Out celebration brings together area residents, businesses, community partners, and local law enforcement each October at Tom Wussow Park. This annual family-friendly event, one of the largest in Houston, is designed to enhance relationships among neighbors and law enforcement in a positive setting and to foster a sense of community within the North Houston area.

The District’s Vice President of Public Safety, Tracy Harrison, spearheads the National Night Out effort and is responsible for its monumental growth since 2014.
