The Pasadena Police Department will be hosting the 26th National Night Out in Pasadena on Tuesday, Aug. 2, at 207 N. Garfield Ave.
Starting at 5 p.m., National Night Out highlights the Pasadena Police Department’s commitment to crime prevention and its dedication to promoting a higher quality of life to all residents.
Throughout the United States, National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer and more caring places to live in. It started in 1984 and has since been held on the first Tuesday of August.
The event seeks to enhance the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement, while bringing back a true sense of community. It also provides an opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
National Night Out is also an opportunity to meet your First Responders from the Pasadena Police and Fire Departments, City Council Officials, and other City officials. The City will have information booths onsite from various city departments.
You can enjoy free food, games and activities for the whole family, and receive giveaways from local organizations too.
