2nd Annual National Night Out

Downey 2nd Annual National Night Out bicycle safety

Tonight was Downey's 2nd Annual National Night Out. National Night Out was started in 1984, to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Downey celebrated with bike safety lessons (safety starts with a helmet). There were lots of activities for the kids, including face painting and shooting hoops.

Officer Duke was on hand to welcome one and all. (His handler says Duke doesn't have a mean bone in his body.) And there were free hot dogs and snacks for all. (Although if you didn't get there early, you might not get a cookie.)
