National Night Out - Celebrating Public Safety in San Mateo

Tonight over 50 Neighborhood Watch streets in San Mateo celebrated "National Night Out", the national event that pays tribute to the efforts of neighbors helping keep their communities safe.

Along with the police department, fire department, and City of San Mateo staff, I was happy to fan out around the City to celebrate at the 50+ block parties that took place this evening.

There were pot luck dinners on cul-de-sacs, wine and cheese in garages, and bar-b-ques in local parks. A great time was had by all!

All of these events highlight the participation of San Mateo residents in Neighborhood Watch. Working with our police and fire departments, all residents of Neighborhood Watch are helping to keep out communities safe!
