On August 4 and 5, the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department proudly joined Boston’s citywide National Night Out events, collaborating with Boston Police and City of Boston lawmakers to engage the public in resident-led block parties, resource fairs, and family-friendly activities. Mayor Michelle Wu, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden, City Councilor Ruthzee Louijeune, and BPD Commissioner Michael Cox were among the civic leaders in attendance, alongside members of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department’s command staff. Our officers and greater SCSD team staffed information booths across Boston’s neighborhoods, passing out swag materials and mingling with families to promote dialogue and accessibility in a celebratory setting. This year’s participation underscored why National Night Out remains vital: to strengthen community engagement and build trust between law enforcement and residents.
