NATIONAL NIGHT OUT 2010

National Night Out against crime on August 3rd 2010, was extremely successful. Wilton Manors Police Officers, Code Enforcement, City Manager, Mayor, and Police Department Volunteers drove around the city visiting five (5) separate block parties organized by various neighborhood groups and residents. We felt this would be a great way for our Officers (some new) to get to meet our residents, as well as our residents getting to meet us. We also showed off some of our departmental equipment such as: the Segway, T3, Police Bikes, Detective vehicles, Code cars, and our Traffic Enforcement Cars which were purchased with confiscated funds. We received positive feedback from the community while making new friends and when visiting with old acquaintances. The Officers handed out Frisbees, finger lights, fans, chemical light sticks, and National Night Out wrist bands to our residents. Officers were able to communicate and get direct feed back from the community which is what Chief Richard Perez believes in and instills in his Officers to make a positive impact against crime and make Wilton Manors a safer place to live.
