This event is a chance for local police agencies to build relationships between community members and members of law enforcement. It's like Coffee with a Cop, but on a much larger scale, and including the entire family.

One of the cool things about this is that all of these celebrations happen on the same night. So, across the country, communities are coming together to interact with each other and with members of law enforcement.

Maine Police Agencies Offering Food and Fun at National Night Out Celebrations

Most National Night Out events include refreshments, games, and a chance to interact with members of law enforcement in a positive situation because, let's be honest, most of us only interact with the police after they've pulled us over for something.

Several Maine Police Departments are taking part in the National Night Out movement this year, and are inviting people in for some fun.
