Last night Valparaiso officers participated in National Night Out. Over 30 officers and numerous civilian employees and Volunteers in Police Service (VIPs) participated in the national event. The event is designed for the community to show their support against criminal activities in their neighborhoods/communities and their support for police.
Officers visited events in 11 neighborhoods, those neighborhoods included: Pine Creek Neighborhood, Lexington Green, Campbell Street Café, 1705 block of Northwood Ct, 2100 block of Worthington Dr., Hawthorne Neighborhood, Mistywood Neighborhood, Keystone Commons Neighborhood, Pepper Creek Neighborhood, Oak Grove and Trinity Church (Central Neighborhood).
Each neighborhood hosted a different event. Some of the activities included—live music, cook-outs, ice cream socials, nacho bar and numerous dessert bars. Each event was very well attended by community members. Even with the threat of rain all was well attended!!
A special thanks to all neighborhoods that participated in this year’s event!
