Every year police and their communities get together to build and strengthen existing relationships at National Night Out events held across the state.
National Night Out is an annual national campaign that takes place on the first Tuesday of August and encourages communities to join with their law enforcement communities to build strong partnerships that can help improve safety and cooperation.
The day is celebrated with block parties, festivals, and other events that bring citizens and first responders together.
This year, 131 communities in Washington will participate.
