Apple Valley Police promote the 5th Annual Night to Unite event Tuesday, August 6, 2013

Mark your calendars for the 5th annual Night to Unite, Tuesday, August 6, 2013.  This is your chance to get out, meet your neighbors and support crime prevention efforts in Apple Valley.  Participation is easy.  Contact Crime Prevention Specialist Pam Walter at 952-953-2706 for registration information or visit the City's website at http://www.ci.apple-valley.mn.us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=654 to obtain registration materials and register online.

Then, on August 6, lock your front doors, turn on your outside lights and spend the evening outdoors with your neighbors!  Police Chief Jon Rechtzigel, Mayor Mary Hamman-Roland, McGruff the Crime Dog and many other representatives from the Police Department, City Council and Apple Valley Fire Department will be part of the official entourage attending parties held in neighborhoods throughout Apple Valley.

Night to Unite is designed to increase awareness of and generate support for local crime prevention efforts.  While achieving that goal, neighborhood and police-community relationships are strengthened.  Don't miss out on the opportunity to be a part of this event.  Take an active role in protecting your neighborhood from criminals!
