The Valparaiso Police Department is again participating in National Night Out, which is scheduled for August 2, 2022. National Night Out is a national event, bringing communities and police together under positive conditions, creating an exchange of ideas, and developing a partnership with citizens. The festivities will begin at 6:00 p.m. as we will once again be making stops within subdivisions and organized groups through out the night. Start planning your activities and events today, as prior years have included games, ice cream socials, cook outs, and small block style parties.
The Valparaiso Police is inviting community members and neighborhood groups to organize events and ac tivities as part of the national celebration. Captain of Support Services, Joe Hall, explained this is an oppor tunity to build relationships as we work together to provide safer communities. Valparaiso Police Officers
and civilian staff will be visiting the planned activities in a variety neighborhoods throughout the city, to show their support of the citizens. Members of the department will include K9, Bike Patrol, support staff, Patrol Division, and Investigations. National Night Out has always been a great success and we look forward to meeting with our community and being a part of all the planned events in the neighborhoods, explained Chief Jeff Balon. This will be the 18th year of participation for the Valparaiso Police Department.
