Posted on FlashAlert: July 31st, 2015 2:30 PM
Washington County Deputy Sheriffs are looking forward to joining residents on National Night out (Tuesday, August 4th) to discuss ways to keep their neighborhood safer. This year's theme, "See Something, Say Something" encourages residents to not only contact 9-1-1 when a crime has been committed, but also utilize a non-emergency number (503-629-0111) to report activities or situations that may seem suspicious or troubling.
Washington County Sheriff Pat Garrett states, "National Night Out is a great tradition that brings neighborhoods and public safety agencies together. Hearing from our residents that night helps us learn of trends so we can best respond, provide education, and continue to serve our communities with excellent service."
Deputies also plan to provide tips on how neighbors can work together year-round to help keep their home and neighborhood safer.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office and Officer McGruff will be at the following community events:
?,? Banks National Night Out: 6-8 pm at 44950 NW Hartwick Road
?,? Cornelius National Night Out: 5:30-8 pm at Harleman Park
?,? Metzger National Out: 7-9:30 pm at Metzger Park
?,? Bethany National Night Out: 6-8:30 pm at John Marty Park
