National Night Out is This Tuesday

The Battle Creek Police Department and other area law enforcement agencies will, once again, participate in a local National Night Out event.

Police Sgt. Chris Rabbitt says Battle Creek's  local, family-friendly and free event will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6, at Mill Race Park, at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Capital Avenue SW.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign from the National Association of Town Watch, which promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our communities safer, better places to live. Events take place nationwide the first Tuesday in August.

The Battle Creek Police Department will bring special unit displays, vehicles, and more. We invite you to bring the entire family for games, music, food and fun!

Along with law enforcement agencies, other community partners and organizations will participate.
