Highland Lakes police departments are celebrating National Night Out in October with their communities. The nationwide initiative aims to connect officers with the public in a fun, safe atmosphere.
All local events are free to attend and promise snacks, drinks, and family fun.
Most of the gatherings are on National Night Out, which is Tuesday, Oct. 1, but the Granite Shoals Police Department is combining the celebration with a trunk-or-treat closer to Halloween.
“Law enforcement is rarely successful without the support of their community, and this is one event where we can continue to build those relationships and further our involvement in the community,” Burnet Police Chief Brian Lee told DailyTrib.com.
