The Kent Police Department announced on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 that – due to the COVID-19 pandemic – they are postponing National Night Out until Tuesday Oct. 6, 2020, contingent on what is happening at that time.

National Night Out is usually scheduled for the first Tuesday in August – this year on Tuesday, Aug. 4 – but due to public health concerns, that has changed.

“Please be on the lookout for more information soon!”
