Tonight was Downey's 2nd Annual National Night Out. National Night Out was started in 1984, to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
Downey celebrated with bike safety lessons (safety starts with a helmet). There were lots of activities for the kids, including face painting and shooting hoops.
Officer Duke was on hand to welcome one and all. (His handler says Duke doesn't have a mean bone in his body.) And there were free hot dogs and snacks for all. (Although if you didn't get there early, you might not get a cookie.)
