LAKEPORT— The Lakeport Police Department is hosting the National Night Out Against Crime in Library Park on Tuesday, October 4, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. This community-building partnership brings police and other government agencies together under positive circumstances.
Lakeport first hosted the event in 2013.
“Together we can reduce crime and build a stronger community,” according to Brad Rasmussen, Chief of Police in Lakeport.
This event is being sponsored by local citizens and businesses; many local partner agencies will be present with booths providing important public information and resources. Participating agencies include health services, animal care services, Probation, Social Services, service dogs, California Highway Patrol, school district and educational services, victim services, City services, Coast Guard Auxiliary, Lake Family Resource Center, Lakeport Main Street Association, American Red Cross, community emergency response, Girl Scouts, and Senior services.
The Lakeport Kiwanis will be serving hot dogs, water, and movie theater popcorn. The Kelseyville Girl Scout Troop will serve lemonade. Snow cones will be available.
Numerous games for children will be offered during the event, along with raffle prizes for both children and adults. The prizes will include gift certificates and merchandise from local businesses, new bicycles, fishing gear, housewares and sporting goods.
All adults and children will be given two general prize raffle tickets for attending with opportunities to earn more by adults visiting all booths and completing a bingo card, and by children participating in games.
Children can receive a free ice cream or donut cards by meeting a police officer. Safety Pup, Chipper and McGruff the Crime Dog will also be interacting with the community. Face Painting by Chayo will be doing face painting for kids.
Everything at this event is free of charge.
The Lakeport Police Department invites the community to join them for a fun evening. “Get to know your neighbors and surroundings and build relationships with your local public service agencies,” encourages the Chief.
