Police to host National Night Out events

The Anne Arundel Police Department is hosting National Night Out Tuesday in an effort to bolster its relationship with the community.

National Night Out is an annual event that takes place on the first Tuesday in August. It’s a series of coordinated nationwide events geared toward building and improving relationships between the community and law enforcement.

The event “promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live,” Anne Arundel County Police said in a news release. “National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.”
