Council issues proclamation supporting National Night Out, police highlight community events
Summary
The council read a proclamation supporting National Night Out and a Turlock Police Department crime-prevention specialist encouraged residents to attend neighborhood events including the Columbia Park gathering.
The council read a proclamation endorsing the 43rd annual National Night Out on Aug. 4, 2026, and invited residents to participate in local neighborhood events.
A proclamation reader recited text noting the National Association of Town Watch's program and the city’s involvement; the proclamation called on residents to join the city and nationwide communities in crime-prevention and neighborhood-safety efforts. Melanie Sefagal, who introduced herself as "the crime prevention specialist at the Turlock Police Department," thanked the community and highlighted a Columbia Park event hosted by the Turlock Recreation Department. She said the event will include information about crime-prevention strategies and neighborhood-watch tools. "National Night Out is just 1 of the ways that we do that," she said.
Councilmembers encouraged neighborhood participation and announced ride-along opportunities tied to the outreach event.
