Philadelphia Police Department to host events for National Night Out

The Philadelphia Police Department and officers around the country are preparing to meet their communities Tuesday night for National Night Out.

The annual event is a family-friendly opportunity for police and neighbors to connect and share food, community resources and more. 

Officers and commanders will meet families at block parties in the neighborhoods they serve, and Police Commissioner Kevin J. Bethel will visit events throughout the city.

National Night Out was founded in the Philadelphia region in 1984 by Matt Peskin and has grown into a nationwide celebration, according to the police department.
