The Richmond Police
Department is inviting all residents and neighborhood associations to go all
out in planning their neighborhood parties on Tuesday, Aug. 4!
National Night Out
brings police and neighbors together in support of crime prevention during an
evening full of fun for all ages.
“Building a sense of
community during National Night Out helps to strengthen the partnership between
citizens and law enforcement,” said Community, Youth and Intervention
Services Captain Angela Greene. “That fellowship becomes a powerful
crime fighting weapon, motivating people to help and look out for one another.”
Richmond has
historically been ranked in the top 10 among cities its size across the country
for National Night Out participation. Registered participants are the key to
that ranking. To register your National Night Out event, visit our website, www.richmondgov.com/police,
and click on the 2015 National Night Out logo.
We hope citizens will
also join Richmond Police and Target stores for a National Night Out Kickoff
Event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 1, at the Forest Hill Avenue
Target, 7107 Forest Hill Ave. Officers will be on hand with crime
prevention materials and children’s fingerprinting ID kits. The festive
atmosphere also will include free food.
National Night Out is
a night designed to forge strong relationships between neighborhoods and
police. The annual party also helps police officers and citizens work together
to heighten awareness of crime and drug prevention. For more information about
