The Folsom Police Department is proud to partner with the community for National Night Out on Tuesday, August 4. National Night Out is a nationwide program that promotes involvement in crime prevention, police-community partnerships, and neighborhood camaraderie.
The annual event contributes to the low crime rate Folsom is known for and sends a strong signal to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and united. This year, Folsom Police Department, Folsom Fire Department and City officials will join hundreds of residents at neighborhood park and block parties that have been organized by local neighborhood watch groups. Attendees can expect to learn useful crime prevention information, and have the opportunity to meet police officers and firefighters, and possibly even a visit from the Folsom Police Department K-9 or mounted units. For more information on National Night Out or how to start a Neighborhood Watch in your neighborhood, call Jessica Hess, Folsom Police Community Services at jhess@folsom.ca.us.
