DART Police to Host National Night Out Oct. 2

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Police Department will host its eighth annual National Night Out on Tues., Oct. 2.

The event will be held from 6-8 p.m. in the parking lot of police headquarters, 2111 South Corinth Street Road, Dallas, located at Illinois Station on DART's Blue Line.

The occasion is free and cosponsored by the Zoo Creek Park Neighborhood Association who invites everyone to come out and meet DART police, fare enforcement officers, staff and their neighbors.

Enjoy fun for the entire family with health and wellness literature, crime prevention and safety information, food, beverages, music and the chance to see specialty equipment used by law enforcement.

Free face painting and haircuts (with student ID) will also be provided to kids along with lots of giveaways.

Now in its 35th year, National Night Out is designed to help build strong relationships between children, families and the police by sending a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods, like Zoo Creek Park, are organized and fighting back.
