Seeking improved community relations, the Commerce Police Department will join the National Night Out program on Tuesday, Aug. 2, with a block party at the Boys and Girls Club.
“It’s a community crime prevention program,” reports Capt. Ken Harman. “On one night, police departments host block parties to interact with their citizens, to get to know people better and to have a good time. The focus is to establish relationships that can serve to prevent crime and improve communities.”
The event, featuring free hot dogs, drinks, inflatables, games for the kids and displays, will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the field adjacent to the Boys and Girls Club.
According to the program’s web site, National Night Out was created to increase awareness about police programs in communities, ranging from drug prevention to crime watches.
