The Irvine Police Department (IPD) is joining the celebration for National Night Out. This annual tradition celebrated across the country will be held Tuesday, Aug. 3, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event offers a chance for neighbors to interact with each other and police personnel, as well as explore police vehicles and learn important crime prevention tips.
Residents can choose from an array of activities at three locations, including learning about the IPD drone team and equipment, Remove It or Lose It, Neighborhood Watch and registering your bike with Project 529. Attendees who bring a canned food item to benefit Families Forward will receive an opportunity to win a prize. View the map of National Night Out locations, or read more below.
