Deputies Ready for National Night Out

Law enforcement agencies across the country encourage residents to participate in the National Night Out on Aug. 6. 

Twenty events will be hosted in Lexington County. 

Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said resident deputies urged neighborhood watch groups to participate in National Night Out in order to show criminals that citizens are vigilant in protecting their neighborhoods, a press release stated.
