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 6, 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. A list of all the events will be available online later this week.
We hope citizens will also join Richmond Police for a National Night Out Kickoff Event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 3, at the Walmart Supercenter, 2410 Sheila Lane. Officers and first responders will be on hand with crime prevention materials and interactive displays. There will also be raffles and giveaways.
National Night Out is a night designed to forge strong relationships between neighborhoods and police. The annual event also helps police officers and residents work together to heighten awareness of crime and drug prevention.
