Rosalind Hayes, the event coordinator, said it's all about taking crime out of neighborhoods.
"That's what it's about; taking back our streets, taking back our neighborhoods, giving a going away party to crime [and] just saying we are no longer accepting this," Hayes said.
Sgt. Robin Green, of the Lafayette Police Department, said the goal is to have people come out, interact with each other and encourage other neighborhoods to put on their own National Night Out block party.
