The San Antonio Police Department is always looking at ways to strengthen its community policing and neighborhood engagement efforts. In February of 2020, the Department announced it would explore the creation of an annual event that would serve as a transition from the city’s participation in National Night Out. From those efforts came the San Antonio Neighbors Together event, which is focused on fostering local police-community relationships, connecting neighborhoods with key city departments, crime prevention tips and the opportunity to get more involved in their neighborhoods and community.

Our annual “San Antonio Neighbors Together” (SANT) is the first Tuesday in October. SANT is a rebranding of the “National Night Out” (NNO) program.

WHY Rebrand? :

• The first Tuesday in August is still too hot here in San Antonio for a comfortable outdoor family event.
• The NNO organization requires annual purchases of banners and licensing for the use of the name.
• Our SANT Program focus on maintaining strong connection between residents and city departments year round rather than a one night event
