National Night Out, which is nationally recognized on the first Tuesday in August annually, was held in the Downtown Fullerton Plaza on August 1. This event serves to enhance relationships between the public and law enforcement while fostering a sense of community. Furthermore, it provides an excellent opportunity for the police and the residents of Fullerton to interact under positive circumstances, ask questions, and learn about their police department and its capabilities to serve them.
