National Night Out:  August 7, 2012 (5 to 9 pm)

Heard about break-ins and car prowls recently? Do you want to do something about it? Get to know your neighbors at National Night Out.

National Night Out is coming back to Kent on August 7! Participate in a neighborhood barbeque, dessert social, or just bring your community together. Let crime know that you’re aware that it’s happening, and you’re not afraid to do something about it. Local events will run from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. We were ranked number 13 out of the entire country for the new population category last year, let’s do it again!

Register your neighborhood’s event online, and request a banner, invitations, give-aways, t-shirts and balloons for your event! Call Sara Wood, Kent Police Department, at 253-856-5851.
