National Night Out returns this August
On Aug. 3, the Florence
Police Department is host-
ing its third annual National
Night Out event at Miller
Park from 6 to 9 p.m.
The National Night Out
is a community-police event
in the United States celebrat-
ed by over 16,000 commu-
nities for the last 35 years.
NNO is meant to increase
awareness about police pro-
grams in communities, such
as drug prevention, town
watch, neighborhood watch
and other anti-crime efforts.
The Florence Police De-
partment will be providing
hot dogs and hamburgers,
chips, cotton candy, pop-
corn, and soft drinks at no
cost to the public.
In addition, there will be
a variety of games and ac-
tivities, with visits by police
officers, public works, other
city staff, firefighters, the
U.S. Coast Guard and para-
medics. Local youth will
also be able to get their face
painted, have a balloon ani-
mal made and interact with
local first responders.
This year will feature a
live DJ, so people can bring
a chair or blanket to sit on
and be ready to dance! We
request that you don’t bring
your pets to the park. Re-
member, this is a family
friendly event, no alcohol or
smoking is allowed.
Every person in the de-
partment is confident that
we can make this commu-
nity event another success
and bring our neighbors
together with the men and
women who protect them.
The safety of our commu-

nity depends on both law
enforcement and the neigh-
bors they serve. The Nation-
al Night Out event helps en-
hance this vital relationship.
The Florence Police De-
partment also wants to
thank its community and
regional partners who are
helping to staff and fund
the event. They have come
together in a short time to
plan for the 2021 National
Night Out. While the de-
partment is not fundrais-
ing for this year’s event, it
is accepting donations to
bring this community event
to life. Interest in donating
should be directed to Jamie
Gorder with the Florence
Police Department at 541-
997-3515.
