Night Out Against Crime
The Gulfport Police Department does their part every day to keep their residents safe. Tonight, they want to give you a glimpse into their world.
A Night Out Against Crime is a national event created to bring citizens and their law enforcement together to strengthen their relationship and show support.
Tonight’s event will actually coincide with Cinema By The Spooky Shore at Jones Park. Starting at 6, families will be able to get safety tips, check out the equipment that the Gulfport SWAT team uses and even see a demonstration by the department’s K-9 unit.
Lieutenant Mike Shaw with the Gulfport Police Department said, “Night Out Against Crime is a way that we can bring our resources down and interact with people on a non-enforcement level. It’s a good way to show people what the police department does.”
Since the event falls near Halloween, you can bet Gulfport PD will be giving out candy as well as safety gear for happy trick-or-treating.
