The Los Alamitos Police Department welcomes the community to join us for a nationwide public safety event, “National Night Out” on Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019 from 5-8 p.m. at our new venue, Little Cottonwood Park, 4000 Farquhar Avenue, Los Alamitos, CA.
National Night Out Day is observed annually on the first Tuesday in August. This night focuses on the community and raising awareness in the United States. Promoting police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer.
Shining a spotlight on community police programs, National Night Out increases connections between those who serve and their neighborhoods through the programs they provide. This fun and community-oriented event is held to promote safety, community spirit and help strengthen the relationship between community and police. Attendees will enjoy various informational booths and displays, food, refreshments and free bounce houses, face painting and balloon twisting for children.
Across the country, police and their neighbors celebrate in various ways, including block watches, as not-for-profits, business, and police departments organize events around the country. They may be as small as a backyard barbecue or as large as a full-blown festival. Attendees are asked to post on social media using #NationalNightOutDay hastag.
Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas and select areas celebrate on the first Tuesday in October).
