Police, Emergency Services host 4th annual Paso Robles National Night Out
–On Tuesday, Aug. 1, Paso Robles joined communities nationwide for the 34th annual “National Night Out” crime and drug prevention event. National Night Out, which is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, involved over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. Territories, Canadian cities and military bases around the world.
National Night Out is an event designed to strengthen communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their public safety partners.
This marked the 4th year Paso Robles has celebrated National Night Out. The event was held at City Park, where members of the Paso Robles Community were able to meet their local police, fire and ambulance personnel, get a first-hand look at first responder vehicles and equipment, and watch police K-9 & fire extrication demos.
There were activities for children, such as learning how to take their own fingerprints, and how to call 9-1-1, and educational information about drug awareness and prevention provided by the Kayla Peach Memorial Foundation. Complimentary hot dogs, hamburgers, cake and ice cream were provided as well.
