Thank you to everyone who came out and visited us at National Night Out at Freedom Hill on Tuesday, August 4. It was great meeting all of the people who support public safety here in Chesterfield Township and across Macomb County.
Officers from the Chesterfield Township Police Department joined agencies from around the county at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill for the county-wide celebration, a free evening of family activities held from 5 to 8 p.m. Residents got a close-up look at a patrol vehicle, met the officers who work their neighborhoods and stopped by the Friends of Chesterfield Police table.
National Night Out is held across the country on the first Tuesday in August. It is an evening for neighbors and the officers who serve them to meet away from an emergency, and that introduction makes it easier to pick up the phone later when something does not look right.
FOX 2 Detroit Previewed the Event
On the morning of National Night Out, law enforcement leaders from around Macomb County joined FOX 2 Detroit to talk about what the evening is and why departments take part.
Thank you again to everyone who stopped by. We cannot wait to see you all again next year.
