The first Tuesday of August means there will most likely be a block party near you, hosted by area police and featuring a free night of fun and festivities.
“It’s where you bring your communities together to build stronger relationships with neighbors, like getting to know neighbors, connecting with your local law enforcement officers. You know, in a positive and relaxed setting,” said Catherine Plevy, public information manager with Maryland’s Takoma Park Police Department.
She said a group of police officers dancing with the community was a highlight at last year’s Takoma Park National Night Out. She said this year there will be more games, free shaved ice and a bunch more tables considering how many organizations are planning to show up to greet residents.
“I usually reach out to people. They were reaching out to me this year. So I’ve added a lot of extra tables,” Plevy said.
Plevy said the street will be shut down in front of Piney Branch Elementary School on Maple Avenue from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the event.
“It’s about strengthening trust and promoting safety and then just showing the community that we work together,” Plevy said.听“Everybody just has a great time, gets to know each other and learns and gets a lot of safety information while they’re doing it.”
