Many communities have a special event in August. It’s called National Night Out.
National Night Out brings people together. It’s like a party in the community. People turn on their porch lights. They come outside. They have block parties and cook-outs. They watch movies and play games. Police officers spend time with people in the community.

Police officers hand out prizes for games. Kids have fun with the officers.
