On Tuesday the Burleson Heights and Burleson-Parker neighborhoods will be celebrating National Night Out, an annual event that promotes neighbors knowing neighbors and preventing crime.

Turn on your porch lights, bring a flashlight and join your neighbors for an outdoor celebration in your area. Officer Raymond Lopez, our Austin Police Department District Representative, will attend both events.

Burleson Heights: 6:30-8:30 p.m., 2400 block of Ware Road
Burleson-Parker: 6-9 p.m., 3201 Laguna Drive

To find out more about these celebrations and stay in touch with your neighbors, join the message board for your area.

To learn more about crime and crime prevention, attend one of the monthly Police Commander’s Forums. The next Region 3 forum is at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the conference room at the Robert Martinez Sr. Central East Substation, 812 Springdale Road.
