Starkville Police thank community after National Night Out

STARKVILLE, Mississippi — The Starkville Police Department thanked residents and partner organizations after hosting its National Night Out event, the department said in a Facebook post.

“Thank you to everyone who joined us for National Night Out! Your support made it a wonderful evening,” the department wrote on its official Facebook page, adding a special thank you to participating agencies, sponsors and donors for helping make the event possible. The post said the department looks forward to seeing the community again next year.

National Night Out is an annual community-police awareness event that promotes neighborhood camaraderie and partnerships between residents and law enforcement. The Starkville Police Department, which provides public safety services to Starkville and the surrounding area, routinely uses community events such as this to build trust, share crime prevention information and connect residents with local public-safety resources.

Details about attendance, participating groups and activities were not provided in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
