Authorities Celebrate National Night Out 2024 In Rancho Palos Verdes

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CA — To continue to promote community trust and transparency in local law enforcement, the Lomita Sheriff's Station and the Los Angeles County Fire Department will host its National Night Out for 2024 on Aug 6.

Palos Verdes residents are invited to attend the annual community-building campaign at Hesse Park from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The event will include meet and greets with first responders as well as food and refreshments.

Over 38 million neighbors across 17,000 communities from all 50 states, US territories and military bases will come together to participate in similar events. The goal for National Night Out is to promote strong police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer, law enforcement said.

Most communities celebrate National Night Out by hosting block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and other community events. Often, organizers will offer safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel and exhibits for people to experience.

“This is a night for our nation to stand together and promote awareness, safety, and neighborhood unity. National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement. When law enforcement and the community work closely together, some amazing things can happen,” National Project Coordinator Matt Peskin said.
