UPDATE: Neighborhood Groups to Light the Night Tuesday

UPDATE (3:49 p.m.)—The Sudbrook Park National Night Out event has been canceled.

The Baltimore County Police Department, elected officials, local celebrities and county civic groups will mark the 29th anniversary of National Night Out on Tuesday.

It's a time to meet with Baltimore County police, McGruff the Crime Dog, and members of your community, and come up with ways to support crime prevention.

The department asks anyone who participates to put in a blue light bulb in their porch light, and turn it on from 6-11 p.m. It's "a peaceful way to display participation in National Night Out," according to a news release from police.

Residents can also string blue holiday lights on patios or decks, and businesses can put blue filters in building lights "to cast a bright blue hue all over Baltimore County," the release states.

Last year, more than 37 million people in over 15,000 communities nationwide came together to strengthen the police-community partnership against crime.

That included communities in the Pikesville and Woodlawn precincts.

Following are the communities set to hold National Night Out events with neighbors, to show criminals they are not welcome!
