The Wheeling Police Department, along with the Wheeling Fire Department and Ohio County Sheriff’s Office will take part in the annual National Night Out, 6-8 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 6 at Wheeling Park’s Ice Rink.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign – throughout the United States that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live.

The event enhances the relationships between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and the community together under positive circumstances.

Wheeling PD will have small promotional items, a K-9-unit demonstration, presence of its traffic, dive and SWAT teams, free pizza and drinks and a number of displays and demos from multiple local agencies.
