The National Association of Town Watch sponsors National Night Out, which celebrates the City’s ongoing commitment to maintaining public safety and quality of life as its top priority. National Night Out is a community building campaign designed to enhance participation in local anti-crime programs, and strengthen partnerships between the community and law enforcement. “National Night Out provides the opportunity to enhance our relationships with community members to continue to work together to maintain La Mirada as a safe place,” says Lieutenant Jeff Dusky of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “I encourage La Mirada residents to attend the event and meet their local law enforcement team.” Representatives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, La Mirada Public Safety Team, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), and the Neighborhood Watch Program will attend the event and provide information. Free fingerprinting for kids will also be available at the Public Safety booth. Neighborhoods throughout La Mirada are also invited to join over 38 million people across the country to celebrate National Night Out on Tuesday, August 7. The City encourages residents to spend the evening doors to get to know their neighbors.
