National Night Out — Mark your calendars!

On Tuesday, Aug. 3, the Sheriff’s Office will sponsor National Night Out events in the Upper, Middle and Lower Keys. The Key West Police Department is co-hosting the Lower Keys/Key West event.

All of the events will feature food, refreshments and a great chance to meet your neighbors, members of the Sheriff’s Office, police officers, firefighters as well as members of the military from a wide variety of divisions, departments and special teams and many others who are involved in the field of public safety here in the Florida Keys.

The goal of National Night Out is to bring the community together to discuss how we can all make our neighborhoods cleaner, safer and more secure. Community members will learn how to heighten their crime prevention awareness.

Each event — depending on the area — will feature displays of the Sheriff’s Office elite units such as the Dive Team, SWAT and Crime Scene Investigation among others. And we will be joined by many of our partners such as the Coast Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Highway Patrol, Park Services, Monroe County Fire Rescue and other fire districts, Monroe County schools, business chambers and many more!

All the following events will occur from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.:
