       NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN EVANSVILLE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

National Night Out, an evening dedicated to getting the public interacting with law enforcement, is just around the corner.

The event is tomorrow evening from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Wesselman Park.

This morning members of law enforcement and city leaders came out for a kick-off breakfast to get the community excited about the event.

Organizers said it is a positive thing to be doing here in Evansville, especially with all that is happening around the nation lately.

“This is a way for them to talk to their crime prevention officers… anyone in the police department… to talk about things that they’re concerned about and also to get to know they’re real people just like everyone else is,” Linda Jones, a coordinator with the Evansville Police Department, said.

However, the event is more than just a way to start community discussions. Organizers said it is a family-friendly evening full of games, food and entertainment.

Jones said shuttle buses will take the public from the YMCA to Wesselman Park for the event. Attendees are asked to park at the old Roberts Stadium.

In addition to the shuttle service, METS will provide its own free shuttle from the downtown bus terminal to Wesselman Park tomorrow evening.
