We had a blast at National Night Out in Hillside Court last night! Lots of people showed up for food, fun, and to learn about comunity organizations. The police came out and although the kids were hesitant to talk to them at first, they soon were asking a million questions and peeking into the squad cars. The Tenant Council did a great job making this event a great success.

This little girl talked to this police officer for what must have been an hour! She told me she was afraid of the police, but then she wouldn’t leave them alone!
There were lots of kids there!

One girl asked if he used his baton for hitting people. The officer replied, “No, I just use it to knock on people’s doors!”
