The Monterey Police Department is hosting a National Night Out (NNO) and you're invited. The goal is to promote community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. Monterey's NNO will take place on Colton Hall Lawn on Tuesday, August 7 from 5 to 8 p.m.

NNO is an annual campaign where the community and public safety come together the first Tuesday in August every year for good, old fashioned BBQ's with hot dogs, chips and drinks provided by generous sponsors.

Sponsor and volunteer opportunities are available. Please contact Lt. Andrews if you are interested, andrews@monterey.org or 831-646-3822.

If you live in Monterey, Santa Cruz or San Benito Counties you should have hopefully received a notice or two in the mail introducing Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP) as a new option as your energy provider. MBCP began providing power to commercial customers back in March, and as of July 1st will begin providing power to all residential customers in the tri county area.

Becoming an MBCP customer could not be easier, simply take no action, you will automatically be enrolled as a customer. This is the case because CA law defaults to the local energy provider (MBCP) unless the customer opts out to another option (PG&E).
