The Richmond Police Department will celebrate National Night Out, the biggest citywide party of the year, and all city residents are invited to participate.

The annual event, this year on Tuesday, Aug. 2, brings police and neighbors together in support of crime prevention during an evening full of fun for all ages. A strong partner- ship between the community and law enforcement is a powerful tool in preventing crime, according to police officials.

Richmond residents are invited to join Richmond Police for the National Night Out Kickoff Event from noon to 3 p.m., this Saturday, July 30, at the Walmart Supercenter, 2410 Sheila Lane.

Officers, specialized units and other first responders will be on hand with crime prevention materials and interactive displays including raffles and giveaways.
