POLICE EVENT

The Seal Beach Police Department invites community members to National Night Out this Tuesday, Aug. 1, from 5-8 p.m. at Eisenhower Park near the Seal Beach Pier, located at 820 Ocean Ave., Seal Beach.

During National Night Out, communities across America come together to take a stand against crime, drugs and disorder in their neighborhoods.

Across the country, approximately 17,000 communities will celebrate with their own National Night Out events, according to the event’s website.

“This year’s National Night Out provides an opportunity for the Seal Beach Police Department to enhance crime prevention efforts by promoting cooperative relationships and reinforcing the need for community involvement,” the Seal Beach Police Department said in a statement.

The Seal Beach Police Department will partner with members of the community to affirm its conviction against crime and promote health, safety and personal preparedness.

This free, family-friendly event will feature SWAT vehicles, mobile command post tours, police motorcycles, a petting zoo, an Orange County Fire Authority booth and equipment, drones, cotton candy, children’s face painting, and hot dogs and chips provided by the Seal Beach Lions Club.
