Local law enforcement and emergency service communities across the nation host National Night Out the first Tuesday of August every year to build trust and community with the families they serve. The event aims to teach children that the police and firefighters are approachable. (Sgt. Marcus Fichtl | 8th Military Police Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs)
