33rd Annual National Night Out Celebrated by City of Seal Beach

Seal Beach, CA--The City of Seal Beach will join the efforts of thousands of other communities across the country to promote safety, strengthen police-community partnerships, and rejuvenate community spirit by participating in the 33rd Annual “National Night Out."

"National Night Out provides an opportunity for the Seal Beach Police Department, in conjunction with the Los Alamitos Police Department and the Cypress Police Department, and our community partners, to enhance crime prevention by promoting cooperative relationships and reinforcing the need for community involvement," Seal Beach Police Sgt. and Public Information Officer Michael Henderson said.

"Target" is the city's corporate partner, and this year’s event will take place at the Old Ranch Town Center at 12300 Seal Beach Bl. in the northern parking lot. National Night Out will start at 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. when the community will come together to take a stand against crime, drugs and disorder in their neighborhoods.

"The Seal Beach Police Department will be partnering with members of the community to affirm our conviction against crime, and promote health, safety and personal preparedness," Henderson said.

According to the Seal Beach Chief of Police, Joe Stilinovich, heightened crime prevention awareness improves every citizen's quality of life.

"It is essential that citizens are aware of the importance of police-community partnerships in the identification of problems, and the impact those partnerships have on solving those problems," Stilinovich said.

3,500 to 4,000 attendees are expected at the event.

"We are looking for clubs, associations, and local businesses who wish to promote their services and products to join in a night of information, interacting with public safety and fun," Henderson said.
