A National Night Out celebration will be held in Whitmore Park on Tuesday evening, Aug. 5 to bring the community together and reduce local crime. Held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., the event will feature information booths, free food, games, a display of police vehicles, raffles and a drone demonstration.

National Night Out is held annually on the first Tuesday in August in many cities to focus on community crime prevention and provides an opportunity for law enforcement to connect with the community through conversation, activities, demonstrations and more.

The Whitmore Park event will consist of food and drinks, games and activities, display of emergency vehicles, a police canine demonstration and more.

Companies and organizations typically provide goods and services for free. National Night Out is free for everyone.
