Law enforcement units took part in National Night Out.
CHP San Jose
“Some of our favorite moments don’t happen on the highway.
“National Night Out gave us the chance to step away from our patrol cars and spend an evening connecting with the people we serve.
“Whether we were answering questions, meeting future Officers, playing games with kids, or simply sharing a laugh with neighbors, every conversation reminded us why events like this matter.
“Thank you to our law enforcement partners, community organizations, and everyone who came out to spend the evening with us.
“We may wear the uniform, but nights like this remind us that the strongest connections are made person to person. Thank you for letting us spend the evening with you.”
Statewide: On Tues., Aug. 4, law enforcement units throughout California took part in National Night Out, a nationwide event that brings community and law enforcement together for building neighborhoods, sharing crime prevention tips, and having some family fun.
