The Dalton Police Department will host its annual Community Night Out event next week on Tuesday, from 6-8 p.m. at the Mack Gaston Community Center at 218 Fredrick Street. Firefighters from the Dalton Fire Department will be on hand with officers from the police department to meet members of the community we serve. The event is free and open to the public.
Visitors of all ages will get a chance to take an up close look at the police cars and fire trucks used by Dalton police officers and firefighters to keep the community safe. Officers and firefighters will also be on hand to distribute safety information to visitors. The police department will be grilling hot dogs for visitors to the event while supplies last.
This is the eighth year that the Dalton Police Department has hosted a Community Night Out event to give the community a chance to meet and interact with the city’s first responders in a relaxed, informal setting. In previous years, the event coincided with the National Night Out in August, but it has since been moved to later in the year to avoid the late summer heat.
