(Michigan City, IN) - The Michigan City Police Department is inviting the public to an upcoming event aimed at reducing crime.
The annual National Night Out event is one where citizens and police officers come together at one location, and get to know each other while taking part in fun activities. Likewise, the event is partially meant to send criminals a message their activity will not be tolerated.
Michigan City Police Chief Steve Forker said the function will be at Pullman Park on West 4th Street, and begin with a bicycle ride on the Singing Sands Trail to the Porter County line and back.
Forker also noted that it’s the first time in many years the police department in Michigan City has taken part in National Night Out.
“We’ll have basically a little pop up block party,” he said.
Music and food will be among the other offerings on hand. The activities are scheduled August 1st from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
