The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Scott Kent will be participating in this year’s National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 5.

National_Night_Out[1]Sheriff Kent encourages county residents to participate in having a neighborhood get-together or party. It’s nice to see neighbors coming together to share each other’s company, cook out, kids playing and just having a quite enjoyable evening. Communication with all your neighbors will help law enforcement clamp down on criminal activity and create a stronger, healthier community. The Sheriff’s Office would like to see more involvement in the county. The neighbors gathering can be anywhere in the county, Crestline, Galion, New Washington, and New Winchester areas. The more involvement, the better.

This provides a time for low enforcement officers to stop by and meet everyone at the gatherings, speak with and answer any questions the community may have. Crawford County deputies enjoy meeting the residents at each party and making contact with the residents. The Sheriff’s Office has some supplies and children’s gifts to hand out as well.

If anyone has questions, would like more information or to register on hosting a neighborhood party on Aug. 5, contact Sheriff Kent, Maj. Chad Filliater, or Deputy Tim Ley at 419-562-7906.
