With those soaring temperatures in mind, each year here in Northwest Louisiana, we elect to move that night to a little later in the year when things are slightly more comfortable.

Tonight is that night and several of our local law enforcement agencies will be out tonight helping the public to celebrate.

During National Night Out, residents are encouraged to take a public stand against crime by participating in neighborhood gatherings and crime prevention events.

In a story from KTBS, we learn that a huge number of Shreveport neighborhoods are planning to gather tonight and celebrate with block parties.

Outside of Shreveport in Caddo Parish,  Sheriff Henry Whitehorn, Sr. stated, "It’s a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, show support for law enforcement, and learn what’s happening close to home. Criminals can’t win if we are united in our approach to fight crime."

He and scores of Caddo Deputies will be out celebrating with the public and likewise for Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington, who will be out with his deputies from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

It's Not Fall In Louisiana Until These Unique Things Happen
