Rocky Ford Police Invite You to National Night Out

The following is a news release from the Rocky Ford Police Chief, Matthew Wallace

Neighborhoods throughout Rocky Ford are invited to join over 38 million neighbors across 17 thousand communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide.

National Night Out is nationally sponsored by NATW, 7-Eleven, ADT, Associa, AT&T, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, FirstNet, L.E.A.D., Nintendo, Starbucks, and co-sponsored locally by the Rocky Ford Police Department.

National Night Out is an annual Community-building campaign that promotes strong police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live and work.

Neighbors across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on their front porch lights and spend the evening outdoors with the community and law enforcement.

Along with the traditional outside lights and front porch vigils, many communities celebrate National Night Out by hosting block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and other various community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and more.

National Project Coordinator, Matt Peskin said, “This is a night for our nation to stand together and promote awareness, safety and neighborhood unity. National Night Out showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement. When law enforcement and the community work closely together, some amazing things can happen.

The Rocky Ford Police Department is excited to host a free pool party and BBQ on August 5, 2025 at the Rocky Ford Swimming Pool. This free event starts at 5:30PM and swimming will be available until 9:00PM.
