(KLZA)-- The Falls City Police Department and the City of Falls City has been honored for the August 2, 2016, National Night Out event.
For the first time Falls City hosted a National Night Out Event and the program has been selected for the Rookie of the Year Award from the National Association of Town Watch. Well over 500 people attended the first-time event in Falls City.
With the belief this event would help build a stronger relationship with the citizens the Falls City Police Department serves, the Falls City event was held, headed by Officer Zach Ractliffe.
More than 16-thousand communities hosted events involving 38.5-million people in 2016.
The Falls City Police Department said the event would not have been possible without donations by the so many including the Sac & Fox Tribe, Sunmart; Ms. Beasley’s and Sonic. It was also pointed out that without so many volunteers from other City Departments and organizations in the area, the event would not have been such as success.
Plans for the 2017 National Night Out are already being made. The event is typically held in early August.
