Police & Fire Demonstrations Set
Tactical police, K-9 and Fire demonstrations will take place under the covered equestrian arena at Wills Park on Tuesday, Aug. 2, as the City of Alpharetta celebrates National Night Out.
The public is invited to come spend the evening outside with neighbors, police officers and firefighters and enjoy a free cookout from 6 to 9 p.m. Firefighters will demonstrate the Fire Safety House, which educates children about what to do in a house fire, while the SWAT team will display its special training and equipment.
National Night Out was introduced in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch in an attempt to encourage more participation in crime watch from residents. More than 11,310 communities from all 50 states participate in the event each year.
While the traditional “lights on” and front porch vigils remain a part of National Night Out, activities have expanded over the years to include festivals, neighborhood walks, safety fairs and meetings.
For more information about the event, call 678-297-6309. Please RSVP at 678-297- 6309, ext. 3. There will be a vegetarian option provided.
