Once again, the City of Lake Forest Park is participating in National Night Out Against Crime, a growing national program designed to reduce crime through police/community connections and to promote anti-drug and anti-crime efforts.
Along with traditional displays of outdoor lights, front porch vigils, and neighborhood flashlight walks, neighborhoods often gather for block parties and social events to "give crime a going away party."
Statistics consistently show that neighbors who know and look out for each other contribute to a reduced crime rate. National Night Out is Tuesday, August 2, 2011.
To register and plan an event or for more information, email Karen Howell, National Night Out Organizer, Lake Forest Park Police Department, 206-364-8216 x547. Or simply drop by City Hall where registration forms are available. Join the tradition!
Due to budget reductions, Lake Forest Park Police Department cannot guarantee an officer will be available to visit your party, although we will make every attempt to be there. We strongly support National Night Out and encourage neighborhood participation in the 2011 National Night Out Festivities.
