building a strong and safe community. Each year the City of Chanhassen joins thousands of

crime prevention awareness. Promote neighborliness and strengthen police and community
relationships. This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, August 6, 2019 and we encourage
residents to join their neighbors in observing NTU, Night to Unite by attending an organized
event in their neighborhood such as a block party. We have Carver County deputies, the fire
