City residents and
neighborhood associations are invited to go all out in planning their
neighborhood parties for National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 7!
This annual celebration
in support of crime prevention brings police and neighbors together during an
evening full of fun for all ages.
“The community plays a
key role in preventing crime,” said Lt. Victor Greene with the Community
Care Unit. “We’re encouraging residents to register their events this year
– large or small – and come out to engage with us and strengthen the bond
between citizens and law enforcement.”
To register your
National Night Out event, visit our website, www.richmondgov.com/police,
and click on the 2018 National Night Out logo. The deadline to register your
event is July 31.
We hope citizens will
also join Richmond Police and Target stores for a National Night Out Kickoff
Event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on August 4, at the Forest Hill
Avenue Target, 7107 Forest Hill Ave. Officers and first responders will
be on hand with crime prevention materials and interactive displays. There will
also be raffles, giveaways, and free food.
