Tehachapi Night Out, Aug. 6

Provided.

The Tehachapi Police Department is hosting Tehachapi Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 6 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Philip Marx Central Park. Like the National Night Out event that will be celebrated across the country on the same date, Tehachapi Night Out aims to connect with and meet the needs of Tehachapi residents.

Chief Richard Standridge invites the community to meet him, his staff and enjoy a summer evening in the park. The goal of the event is to promote police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.

There will be a coloring contest for children, a bike rodeo, plenty of photo opportunities, police cars and fire trucks for the kids to climb on, food, a glowstick walk and wrap it up with a movie in the park ("Shrek") courtesy of TVRPD.

"I encourage everyone to come to this year's Tehachapi Night Out. It is a great opportunity to come and meet me and other members of the Tehachapi Police Department. The Tehachapi Police Foundation has worked diligently to make this year's event enjoyable for this great community," said Standridge, Chief of Police.

Bring the entire family to meet all your first responders including the Kern County Fire Department, Kern County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, California Corrections and Rehabilitation Department and your Tehachapi Police Officers!
