A press release I received from the Beaverton Police Department announces their planned activities in celebration of National Night Out.  Here’s the details:

“The 27th Annual National Night Out, a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the Beaverton Police Department and the National Association of Town Watch will be held on Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 between 6 pm and 8 pm at Griffith Park, 4600 SW Griffith Drive.

Over 34 million people in more than 1,000 communities will join forces to promote police-community partnerships and neighborhood unity.  This “celebration of community” has proven to be an effective and fun filled event to promote neighborhood spirit and police community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation.  The Beaverton Police Department’s National Night Out will include a police K-9 demonstration in a carnival like atmosphere, which will feature free food, games and prizes, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and much more.

Please join your friends and neighbors and help celebrate National Night Out against crime. For additional information, please contact Sue Hayes at the Beaverton Police Department at 503-526-2562 or by email: shayes@ci.beaverton.or.us.”
