The Richmond Police Department is gearing up to celebrate National Night Out, the biggest city-wide party of the year, and all city residents are invited to participate.
The annual event, to be held Tuesday,
August 7, brings police and neighbors together in support of crime
prevention during an evening full of fun for all ages. A strong partnership
between the citizens and law enforcement is a powerful tool in fighting crime.
Numerous National Night Out
events will be hosted throughout the Richmond area. To find an event near your
neighborhood, visit http://bit.ly/2018NNOEvents.
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 Saturday, 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.
National Night Out is a night
designed to forge strong relationships between neighborhoods and police. The
annual event also helps police officers and citizens work together to heighten
awareness of crime and drug prevention.
