Annapolis, MD - Maryland Natural Resources Police officers will visit communities throughout Maryland on Tuesday, Aug. 5 in support of National Night Out, an annual community-building campaign promoting partnerships between the police and the neighborhoods they serve.
The National Night Out campaign was established in 1984 and has grown to include more than a million community members in all 50 states. Maryland’s community events include block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts, and public safety demonstrations.
“We look forward to spending valuable time building meaningful relationships with our community members next week for National Night Out,” said Col. Orlando Lilly, Superintendent of the Maryland Natural Resources Police. “Partnerships with neighborhoods and communities offer a reminder that there is a human behind the badge, and those humans can better protect and serve when actively engaged and included.”
NRP officers will visit neighborhoods in counties around the state to participate in family-friendly activities, community-building events, and safety presentations. All are invited to join the events. Officers can be found at the following locations:
