Palos Verdes Joins National Night Out Celebration!
Palos Verdes residents know that the safety of our community depends on both law enforcement and citizen participation. Residents are encouraged to participate in the National Night Out program, which is American’s Night Out Against Crime. This event is held in all 50 states and every U.S. military base. In Palos Verdes Estates, the event will be held in neighborhoods around the city on Tuesday, August 4, 2015, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
On the Palos Verdes Peninsula, block parties are hosted at homes throughout the cities, where neighbors can get to know one another and participate in group activities. Some of the block parties include cookouts, ice cream socials and other family fun. In Palos Verdes Estates, your neighborhood watch leader will help set up the event and during the evening there will also be a caravan of city officials and the local crime dog, Officer McGruff, visiting the block parties.
This is a great time to show your neighborhood spirit by either hosting or attending a block party. For more information, contact Marcelle McCullough, Police Department Community Relations Officer, at (310) 378-4211.
