Agency official urges residents to attend National Night Out to build ties with police
Summary
An agency official described National Night Out as a chance for neighbors and police to meet informally, stressing community ties and asking residents not to judge officers by their uniforms.
An agency official urged residents to take part in National Night Out, describing it as "a nationwide initiative to help police departments and their communities come together and get to know each other, ask questions, give some answers," and framed the event as an opportunity for informal conversation and community-building.
The official emphasized that officers are part of the neighborhood and asked attendees to look beyond appearances: "Please remember, don't look at the uniform, where at the end of the day, we're at the same dinner table," the official said. No votes or formal actions were recorded during the remarks; the segment was an announcement and public outreach message about the program.
