Bossier City and Parish neighborhoods are gearing up for National Night Out, which takes place Tuesday, Oct. 3.
Eight events are registered with the Bossier City Police Department. Residents will spend an evening outdoors with neighbors, police officers and firefighters in this annual crime fighting effort.
The goal of Shreveport-Bossier City Night Out is to: (1) heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; (2) strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnership; and (3) send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
In addition to city activities, 19 neighborhoods and communities throughout Bossier Parish will be hosting block parties as part of Bossier Parish National Night Out between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Bossier deputies will be at each location, while Posse members will be at some events fingerprinting, along with Bossier Sheriff’s Office motorcycle patrol, K-9 teams, mounted patrol and parish firefighters and EMTs.
“We always look forward to National Night Out because it gives us a chance to directly visit with the people we serve,” said Sheriff Whittington. “We get to know one another better as we chat together over a hamburger or hot dog, and neighbors get to know each other, too.”
