FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Registration Open For Night To Unite
Edina, Minn., July 2, 2015 – Every year, the State of Minnesota joins together to celebrate Night to Unite
the first Tuesday of August. The Edina Police Department encourages residents to lock their doors, turn on
outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors Aug. 4.
Last year, more than 50 Night to Unite block parties were registered with the City of Edina. Party organizers
can request a visit by a police car, fire engine, ambulance, Animal Control, Sparky, Public Works dump truck,
K-9 Officer or Bike Patrol Officer. Resources are limited, so register early to request a visitor. The deadline
to register is Friday, July 24.
“Part of what makes Edina a great community is the fact that we have very strong neighborhoods,” said Sgt.
Brian Hubbard, who is organizing this year’s Night to Unite. “This evening is a great opportunity for neighbors
to interact with each other and law enforcement, get questions answered and just have a positive experience
with their local police and fire departments.”
Night to Unite was created to promote neighborhood spirit, increase awareness in crime prevention and
build a stronger partnership between the Police Department and community members.
