Corporal Bibbs said in a Facebook post that National Night Out is scheduled for today at the Starkville Sportsplex, beginning at 6 p.m. He invited residents to attend, have fun and meet members of the Starkville Police Department.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that encourages partnerships between local law enforcement and neighborhoods. The event often features opportunities for residents to speak with officers, learn about public safety resources and take part in community activities.
The Starkville Police Department is the municipal agency responsible for law enforcement in the city. Events like National Night Out aim to strengthen trust between police and residents, foster communication and promote crime prevention strategies through informal interaction.
The department encouraged community participation in the Facebook post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
