National Night Out registration is open

National Night Out provides an opportunity to gather and enjoy a summer evening with neighbors, good food and information on ways to keep their communities safe. Bloomington’s 38th annual National Night Out event is Tuesday, August 2.

“National Night Out is always a highlight for the department and it’s one of my favorite events of the year,” Crime Prevention Specialist Katie Zerull said. “Police officers and firefighters are looking forward to getting back out there visiting parties and meeting residents.”
