Common Questions About National Night to Unite Giveaways

What are good National Night to Unite giveaway ideas?
Junior police badges, coloring books, stress relievers, tote bags, trooper hats and wristbands are the items departments reorder every August. Badges and trooper hats draw kids to the table. Tote bags carry the smaller items home. Coloring books keep the safety message alive after the event. Pick several and request free samples so the community relations officer can lay everything out and build the giveaway mix before the chief approves the National Night to Unite order.

How do departments typically set up giveaways at a block party?
Most departments set up one table for kids and one for adults. The kids' table has badges, coloring books, pencils, stickers and trooper hats. The adult table has tote bags, pens, stadium cups, sunglasses and wristbands. Some departments bag the kids' items in advance so each child grabs one bag and moves through the line.

Can items be imprinted with the department name?
Most items on this page accept a custom imprint with the department name, badge art or community event message. Stock items ship without an imprint. Each product page notes whether the item is stock or custom.

Can we get samples before the chief approves the order?
Yes, and you do not have to pick just one item. Add several National Night to Unite giveaways to the sample basket from any product page, or call 800.431.3473. Samples arrive organized and packaged so the community relations officer can lay everything out and build the giveaway mix before the chief approves the order. Free samples ship to a department or agency address.

When should we order for an August event?
Custom imprinted items need production time, so most departments place National Night to Unite orders several weeks before August. Stock items ship sooner. Call 800.431.3473 with your event date and the team can confirm the timeline.
