National Night Out is next Tuesday but the Kickoff Event is this Saturday at the local Target.

From RPD:

The Richmond Police Department is gearing up to celebrate National Night Out, the biggest city-wide party of the year, and all city residents are invited to participate.

The annual event, to be held Tuesday, August 7, brings police and neighbors together in support of crime prevention during an evening full of fun for all ages. A strong partnership between the citizens and law enforcement is a powerful tool in fighting crime.

Numerous National Night Out events will be hosted throughout the Richmond area. To find an event near your neighborhood, visit http://bit.ly/2018NNOEvents.

We hope citizens will also join Richmond Police and Target stores for a National Night Out Kickoff Event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 4, at the Forest Hill Avenue Target, 7107 Forest Hill Ave. Officers and first responders will be on hand with crime prevention materials and interactive displays. There will also be raffles, giveaways, and free food.

National Night Out is a night designed to forge strong relationships between neighborhoods and police. The annual event also helps police officers and citizens work together to heighten awareness of crime and drug prevention.
