FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Edina Public Safety Team will Attend Night to Unite Parties
Edina, Minn., July 22, 2024 – The Edina Police and Fire Departments will be out in the community for “Night to Unite” Tuesday, Aug. 6. Neighborhoods across the city have the opportunity
to meet and greet the City’s Police Officers and Fire personnel while enjoying time with their neighbors outdoors.
“Night to Unite is a great opportunity for neighbors to get together to share stories and great food,” said Community Engagement Officer Nick Donahue. “While the summer months tend to
be very busy, our police officers and firefighter/paramedics are very much looking forward to connecting with the residents we love to serve!”
Night to Unite is designed to build neighborhood involvement by bringing first responders and communities together and bring awareness to crime prevention and local law enforcement efforts.
Around 80 block party organizers have requested a free visit from a police car, fire truck or ambulance, drone team, motor officer or K-9 officer. Resources are limited because of the
large number of neighborhoods taking part in the event. Police and Fire personnel will do their very best to make it to all of the events.
Night to Unite also provides an opportunity for residents to donate food and school supplies for Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People (VEAP). Police Reserves will pick up donations at
registered parties between 6 and 9 p.m. as their schedules allow. If the Reserves can’t make it to a party, organizers are asked to drop them off at the Edina Police Department later
that night or the next day.
For more information, contact the Edina Police Department at 952-826-1610.
