On Tuesday evening, Aug. 6, officers from the Riverside County Sheriff\u2019s Department\u2019s Hemet station and the California Highway Patrol\u2019s San Gorgonio station will be in Idyllwild for the National Night Out.
\n This is the third consecutive year that law enforcement, with its other public safety partners, is reaching out to introduce themselves to the community and meet hill residents.
\n National Night Out is a nationwide event that began in August 1984. The first National Night Out was held in 23 states. It migrated south and west from its start in Pennsylvania.
\n Its purpose is to promote police-community partnerships. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors, law enforcement and first responders while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police, first responders and neighbors together under positive circumstances, according to Corp. Frank James of the Hemet station, who is organizing the 2019 National Night Out.
\n Many public safety agencies will be participating. Members of the Riverside County Code Enforcement\u2019s Mid-county office, the Sheriff\u2019s Emergency Response Team, California Highway Patrol, and American Medical Response will all be available to answer questions and to demonstrate some equipment.
\n \u201cI know the community loves animals,\u201d wrote Cpl. Frank James of the Hemet Station. \u201cWe are going to have dogs, horses, and possibly a raccoon (rescue animal). There will be plenty of equipment to look at and take pictures in.\u201d
\n First responders will collect along Park Lane, between Idypark and the Fort. The event is from 5 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 6. The roads in that area of town will be blocked off from 4 to 8 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
