Tuesday night is National Night Out, a nationwide event designed to develop partnerships between the police and fire departments, and the community. The event is also a chance for the police and fire officials to meet neighbors and educate them on various safety and crime prevention programs.

It’s also a fun event for kids. They can check out a SFPD horse, or get familiar with a SFPD motorcycle or SFFD fire engine. The event will also feature a bouncy house and face painting.

Last year’s event drew about 150 residents to the station.

Stop by on Tuesday night to learn more about your police and fire departments, and to have some good fun. National Night Out is free for everyone and takes place at the Richmond District police station at 461 6th Avenue from 5pm until 8pm.
