Angels' Night

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Angels' Night is an event designed to mitigate criminal acts associated with Devil's Night or Mischief night in Detroit. It operates annually October 29–October 31. As many as 40,000 Metro Detroiters volunteer to keep the city safe on these nights. Many volunteers keep a high profile patrolling neighborhoods with magnetic-mount flashing amber beacons, on their personal vehicles, along with communicating with command centers via citizens' band radios or by cellular phones to report any suspicious activity. In recent years, arson and other crimes have declined, much to success of Angels' Night activities and volunteers.
