National Night Out - August 5

The northside precinct is sponsoring this year’s Madison Police Department “National Night Out” event Tuesday, Aug 5 at Warner Park.

This is the first time that the event in its 20 year history will be held on the northside. The events start at 6 p.m., and will include a bike rodeo at 6:30 p.m., face painting, the K-9 unit with canine officer Ivan and his partner, human officer Henry Wilson, motorcycle officers, mounted police on horseback, squad cars and fire engines.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is an opportunity for friends, neighbors and businesses to gather and learn more about personal safety and property security as well as build bridges between citizens, businesses and local law enforcement. MPD will provide information on home security, personal safety, and how to organize a Neighborhood Watch.

Cheers to community volunteers including Vern Stenman and the Mallards who are donating food and service. Baer Insurance who'll be Face Painting, Target that donated bike safety equipment and the Northside Business Association for donating 100s of pencils and stickers for the kids.
