A Night Out for Edmonds

We are lucky to live in a town that has relatively low amounts of crime, but oftentimes we take for granted the reasons why we are able to do with. With an outstanding police, fire and first aid force, the denizens of Edmonds can rest a little easier knowing that if they do need help, they can count on the men and women who dedicate their lives to helping the community.

One of those groups, the Edmonds Police Foundation, is making safety a little more fun this evening with its annual Edmonds Night Out, an event focused on bringing community members together and educating them on public safety.

Formed in 1996, the foundation is a community-based organization that serves to assist the Edmonds Police Department in the areas of education, fundraising and citizen involvement. Overall, their goal is to make our town a safer place to live. They help raise money to provide the police force with modern equipment and up-to-date training

The “Night Out Against Crime” is a day to lock your doors, turn on your porch light, and gather with friends, family and neighbors at the Frances Anderson Center Playfield. Learn ways to combat crime and keep your neighborhood safe with tips from the Edmonds Police Department and fire officials.

There will be hot dogs, clowns, entertainment, games for the kids and a chance to view emergency vehicles, the SWAT Unit’s bus, the K-9 Unit police car, and of course the fire truck!

Edmonds Night out is a free event from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
