The Richmond Police Department is excited to announce that we will celebrate National Night Out on Tuesday, October 6, 2020.
National Night Out is designed to:
1. Heighten crime and drug prevention
awareness;
2. Generate support for, and participation
in, local anti-crime efforts;
3. Strengthen neighborhood spirit and
police‐community partnerships;
4. Send a message to criminals letting them
know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
