Killeen Joins in National Night Out 2025
Killeen, TX (October 2, 2025): The Killeen Police Department will join cities nationwide in celebrating America’s Night Out Against Crime.
On Tuesday, October 7, 2025, neighborhoods throughout Killeen are invited to join thousands of communities across the country for the National Night Out (NNO) crime and drug prevention event.
National Night Out is designed to:
- Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
- Generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts;
- Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and
- Send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
This year, we are excited to announce that Killeen will host 25 neighborhood block parties across the city—showcasing the strong partnerships between our residents and first responders. See the attached list and map below for all participating locations.
From 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on October 7, residents in Killeen—and across the nation—are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights, and spend the evening outdoors with neighbors and police.
Neighborhoods are encouraged to host activities such as block parties, cookouts, contests, and youth programs. Neighborhoods that register may receive visits from the Killeen Police Department, Killeen Fire Department, and McGruff the Crime Dog.
“The National Night Out program is an outstanding campaign to help build neighborhood unity and strengthen police-community partnerships. On October 7th, we invite citizens of Killeen to join forces with us—and with neighborhoods nationwide—to give crime and drugs a going-away party,” said Chief Pedro Lopez.
