National Night Out, Totally Trucks and Tony Curtis

It is National Night Out on Tuesday. This annual event brings together communities and law enforcement in a fun and safe way.
 
Between 5 and 9 p.m., Fairfax County Police officers will bring their safety messages to neighborhoods at community events across the county.

The goals of National Night Out are to strengthen community connections within neighborhoods and to heighten awareness of crime prevention issues, say FCPD Public Safety officers.

Reston-area events will be held at Southgate Community Center (5 to 7 p.m.) , as well as at KinderCare locations (5:30 to 7 p.m.) at 1946 Issac Newton Square, 1802 Old Reston Avenue, 2300 Soapstone Road, 11875 Lake Newport Road, and 1302 North Village Road.
