The Big Rapids Department of Public Safety is postponing its annual National Night
Out celebration. National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention
awareness, generate support for and participation in local anticrime efforts, and strengthen
neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.

“Due to the election being held downtown the same night as NNO was scheduled and other ongoing projects, the decision was made to postpone the event," Big Rapids Police Department Community Relations Officer William Sell. "We are in the process of planning an event similar to NNO in the fall.”

Officer Sell at wsell@bigrapidsdps.org.
