National Night Out provides first responders an opportunity to interact with local neighborhoods and participate in community-building activities. The Piqua Police Department will be hosting block parties throughout the city from 6 to 8 p.m.

“Community crime prevention starts at the neighborhood level,” Rick Byron, Piqua Police Chief said. “We want to use National Night Out to build stronger neighborhoods in every area of the city.”

Piqua PD encourages all residents to join law enforcement and other community partners outside throughout the evening.

Community organizers may contact Officer Chris Walters by dialing 778-2027 ext. 3027 or Rick Byron at 778-2036 for block registration and additional information.
