National Night Out

Join WPD at Huber Village Park August 6th for a block party! The event party will feature inflatables, games, a Therapy K9 Chloe Photo booth and more! Best of all, this will be a prime opportunity for residents to engage and meet WPD officers, foster relationships and strengthen the community.

National Night Out is an annual community-building event which usually takes place on the first Tuesday in August. Join up with your neighbors to participate in this public safety event. The evening is designed to:

(1) Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;

(2) Generate support for local anti-crime programs;

(3) Promote neighborhood pride and police-community partnerships; and

(4) Send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

National Night Out is unique because participating neighborhoods host block parties with activities including: potlucks, karaoke, face painting, raffles, police car rides, and an appearance from PC the Patrol Car or Officer Big Man.
