Night to Unite encourages law enforcement and communities to strengthen neighborhoods by getting to know one another to keep communities safe and promote community partnerships. Night to Unite is not only a fun night out with your neighbors; the event also sends a message to criminals that you are standing up against them by forming an alliance with your neighbors and police. This is also a great time to confirm which neighbors’ house is a safe meeting place during an emergency like a fire inside the house.
Sign up to host a neighborhood Night to Unite block party and have a fire truck stop by. Registration deadline is Friday, Aug. 2, and can be done on the City website at www.lakevillemn.gov right side of main page.
