Don't forget, National Night Out is Tuesday, August 1st this year!
We would love to be a part of your National Night Out event. To request a visit from a Sheriff's deputy, K9, dive team, or any of our other personnel, click here.
For those who may be unfamiliar with National Night Out, it is an annual event where neighborhoods around the country organize block parties and community events to foster friendship and promote public safety.
We hope to see you and your neighbors during National Night Out 2017!

 Earlier this week, two dozen area youth from the Boys & Girls Club of the Twin Cities participated in the Sheriff's Office annual Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs event. The event pairs teen-aged youth with deputies, volunteer Special Deputies and youth Explorers for a morning of fishing, drug prevention education and lots of fun.
The goal of the event is to teach kids about the dangers of drugs while also providing them with a fun activity they can do with friends. It is one of several educational events the Sheriff's Office has hosted as part of the #NOverdose drug prevention campaign.
The event is made possible by generous donations from the Hennepin County Sheriff Foundation and other area businesses that donate pontoon boats, equipment and lunch.
To learn more about the event, you can watch a news story from WCCO by clicking here.
