National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. Together, we are making that happen. On the first Tuesday each August neighbors throughout Rossmoor, Seal Beach, Los Alamitos and cities across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on their front porch lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and law enforcement.
Join the fun starting at 5:00 p.m. in front of Target in the Old Ranch Town Center (across from the Shops at Rossmoor) in Seal Beach.
