National Night Out Aganist Crime Comes to Lake Forest Park

Lake Forest Park participates in the national fight against crime on Tuesday, August 2nd between 7pm-10pm.

Once again, the city of Lake Forest Park is participating in the National Night Out Against Crime, a growing national program designed to reduce crime through police/community connections while promoting anti-drug and anti-crime efforts.

Along with traditional displays of outdoor lights, front door vigils, and neighborhood flashlight walks, neighbors often gather for block parties and social events to 'give crime a going away party'. Statistics consistently show that neighbors who know and look out for each other contribute to a reduced crime rate. 

To register and plan an event, or for more information contact Karen Howell, National Night Out Organizer, Lake Forest Park Police Department at (206) 364-8216 ex 547; by email: khowell@ci.lake-forest-park.wa.us. Or you can simply drop by the City Hall where registration forms are available.

Due to budget reductions, the Lake Forest Park Police Department cannot guarantee an officer will be available to visit every neighborhood, although officers will make every attempt to be there.
