The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office will once again be hosting its own parties for National Night Out Against Crime this year.
On Tuesday, October 3, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office will join other law enforcement agencies in southeast Louisiana as they participate in the annual event.
The Sheriff’s Office will hold free events, with food, entertainment and bounce houses, from 5-8 p.m. on October 3, at the following locations: Future Location 1st District Headquarters – 740 Oak Harbor Blvd, Slidell; 2nd District Headquarters – 3926 Hwy 59, Mandeville; 4th District Headquarters – 81635 Hwy 41, Bush. Residents in the 3rd District are asked to attend the event in the 2nd District this year as construction continues on the new 3rd District Headquarters being built off Highway 21.
These events will provide residents an opportunity to meet the supervisors and deputies working in their district, to find out about services available and to share their concerns. Neighborhoods are welcome to set up a table/tent at these events, or residents can come on their own. In addition to these events, representatives from the various divisions within the STPSO will be attending parties that are planned in neighborhoods throughout the parish. National Night Out is a nation-wide crime prevention event.
The night is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood support in anti-crime efforts and unite our communities. It is a great chance to learn about crime prevention, while also celebrating your community and spending time with your neighbors and local law enforcement.
Nationally the event is held during the month of August, but due to the extreme heat, many locations in South Louisiana have changed the date to the month of October.
