Local Law Enforcement To Host National Night Out

National Night Out is a block party style effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, and neighborhood associations.

Cpl. Eric Vasquez with the Wenatchee Police Department is helping organize the event.  Vazquez says the gathering is a community outreach that "helps people know that police are people too, that they have families that they need to go home to"

Local law enforcement agencies from throughout the Wenatchee Valley are participating.  National Night Out runs from 6pm - 7:30pm in Centennial Park, 130 S. Wenatchee Avenue.

This event is free and open to all ages.
