National Night Out will be celebrated throughout Folsom and around the nation Tuesday, August 1. It may look like potlucks and ice cream socials, but National Night Out events bring neighbors and first responders together to help build a safer community.

Each year, Folsom police officers, firefighters, city officials, and hundreds of residents attend dozens of National Night Out events throughout the city.

Neighborhoods hosting celebrations are encouraged to register their National Night Out event by July 17 at www.folsom.ca.us/police. For more information or to request an application, contact Police Volunteer Coordinator Jessica Hess at 916-461-6516 or jhess@folsom.ca.us.
