National Night Out recently took place at the Gatesville Sports Complex. National Night Out is designed to heighten drug and crime awareness, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partners, and send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. This event was a fun-filled for all ages. There was free food, vehicle and aircraft displays, safety demonstrations, educational materials, fun games, local city/ county information, free giveaways, and a chance to visit with local first responders.
