CINCINNATI —

It’s a day that has been celebrated since 1984.

Police departments and local community groups get together ahead of the school year to promote unity with block parties, barbecues and festivals.

It’s known as “National Night Out”.

The night is meant to foster positive relationships between police and the communities they protect.

The Cincinnati police held an event in every district.

Ney was recently released from a rehab facility after being shot in the line of duty last month.

Event times vary by department, so check with your local precinct for more information.
