The Roswell Police Department and Roswell Fire Department invite the
public to join them at National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 5, at the Roswell Recreation and
Aquatic Center (1402 W. College Blvd.) from 6 to 8 p.m.
RPD, RFD and other law enforcement, fire and medical
agencies will have some of their vehicles and equipment at
the event for people to check out firsthand while visiting
with the emergency responders.
During the event, the outdoor pool will be open to the
public for free beginning at 6:15 p.m. There is a limit of 200
people in the pool at a given time.
There will be food, games and raffles.
National Night Out began in 1984 as a way for communities
across the country to build relationships among citizens
and police, fire and medical emergency responders, while also raising crime-prevention
awareness. Thousands of communities in all 50 states and U.S. territories, as well as in
Canada, hold local events each year. Most National Night Out events are held on the first
Tuesday in August, although some places hold events at other times.
