National Night Out Aug 6th - Annual community events w/Jeffco Sheriff's Office

From Jefferson County Sheriff's Office:

National Night Out is August 6 this year and we are looking forward to spending the evening with you. Last year the Sheriff’s Office went to over 20 different National Night Out events, enjoying block parties, community bar-b-ques, neighborhood parades, and house parties for National Night Out.

You might have seen us playing corn hole, tossing a Frisbee, or throwing the football around with your kids or neighbors. It was great – and we want to do it again! Together, we can reduce crime in our neighborhoods.

Join us tomorrow (Tuesday, Aug 6th) by attending one of the following 26 festivities taking place in our Jefferson County communities! We look forward to celebrating National Night Out with you!

NEVER HEARD OF NATIONAL NIGHT OUT?
National Night Out is observed annually on the first Tuesday in August. This year it is on August 6th. This night focuses on the community and raising awareness in the United States. Promoting police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer.

HISTORY
