The Bainbridge Island Police Department is inviting the community to come celebrate at the 34th annual National Night Out, planned for 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 1 at city hall’s Town Square.

National Night Out takes place each year on the first Tuesday in August to heighten awareness and strengthen local anti-crime efforts. It’s also a way to build bonds between the police department and the community. The family-friendly event includes activities for all ages, with games, equipment displays and the opportunity to meet Bainbridge officers.

The family-friendly event will include free food, games, the opportunity to go head-to-head with Bainbridge Police Chief Matthew Hamner in a donut contest, and prizes, including the chance to ride on a police boat, a basket full of police-themed goodies and lunch with the chief.
