Tuesday night was the 31st year of National Night Out, an event that aims to help prevent crime by encouraging people get to know their neighbors and strengthen their communities. We sent reporters out to National Night Out gatherings all over the Bay Area to see what was going on.

KATRINA GARCIA: I wonder really what the result is, do people really want meet officers, especially in Richmond. There’s always this thing like you know we hate the po-po type of thing.

If you went to National Night Out, call and tell us how you felt about it at (415) 264-7106.
