The Valparaiso Police Department is again participating in National Night Out, which is scheduled for
Tuesday, August 6, 2024. National Night Out is a nationwide event, bringing communities and police
together under positive conditions, creating an exchange of ideas, and developing a partnership
with citizens. The festivities will begin at 6:00 p.m. as we will once again be making stops within
subdivisions and organized groups throughout the night. Start planning your activities and events
today, as prior years have included games, ice cream socials, cook outs, and small block parties.
The Valparaiso Police Department is inviting community members and neighborhood groups to or-
ganize events and activities as part of the national celebration. This is an opportunity to build rela-
tionships as we work together to provide safer communities. Valparaiso Police Officers and civilian
staff will be visiting neighborhoods throughout the city to show their support of the citizens. Mem-
bers of the department will include K9, Bike Patrol, support staff, Patrol Division, and Investigations.
National Night Out has always been a great success, and we look forward to meeting with our com-
munity and being a part of all the neighborhood celebrations. This will be the 20th year of participa-
tion for the Valparaiso Police Department.
To be part of this year’s event, please contact Captain Joe Hall at 219-462-2135 or at
jhall@valpopd.com. Registration closes Wednesday, July 17, 2024, at 4:00 p.m.
