Citizens, law enforcement agencies, community groups, businesses, youth organizations and local, state and federal officials from more than 16,200 communities in all 50 states, U. S. territories, Canadian cities and U. S. Armed Forces installations worldwide, joined together for National Night Out earlier this week.

The local event was held at the Haselwood Family YMCA in Silverdale to promote safety and community awareness about crime prevention.
