| National Night Out Events |

| |
Third District cities Anaheim, Irvine, Orange and Tustin are set to host National Night Out events on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
The nationwide event, in its 30th year, allows local law enforcement agencies promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie, as well as send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Last year, more than 37 million people participated worldwide, the National Night Out website states.
“This is a great opportunity for communities to let criminals know who really owns the streets,” Supervisor Todd Spitzer said. “National Night Out also offers police agencies to interact with members of the community, strengthening their bond and commitment to work together to make the streets safer.”
Each event will feature police and fire department vehicles and equipment, demonstrations, games for children and crime prevention information. In addition, Orange is offering free fingerprinting for children, Tustin is offering food samples, Irvine is offering bike registrations and Anaheim is offering a helicopter display.
Third District residents visit the National Night Out events in their respective cities:
- Anaheim: Stoddard Park, 1901 S. 9th Street. 5-8 p.m.
- Irvine: Cypress Village Community Park, 255 Visions. 5:30-7 p.m.
