The Big Bear Sheriff’s Station, in partnership with the Big Bear Fire Department, bring National Night Out to Big Bear Valley residents on Tuesday, August 1. Please join us at the Big Bear Sheriff’s Station located at 477 Summit Blvd. in Big Bear Lake between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. for an Open House. This is a free, family oriented event to raise awareness about crime prevention and personal/household safety. Police and fire equipment will be on display, and there will be activities, giveaways, grilled hot dogs, cold beverages, and more for all who attend. LifeStream will also be on hand for a Guns and Hoses blood drive and marrow screening, with free t-shirts for all donors.

National Night Out is an annual campaign organized through the National Association of Town Watch that promotes community partnerships and camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. Together, we are making this happen. In recognition of National Night Out, residents throughout Big Bear Valley and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on their front porch lights, and spend the evening of August 1st outside with neighbors and law enforcement. National Night Out is a night to stand together and promote awareness, safety, and neighborhood unity through community partnerships and citizen involvement. Mark your calendars and we’ll see you there!
