On Tuesday, August 7th, the Garden City Police Department, in conjunction with the Garden City Recreation Department, participated in "National Night Out," a program which cultivates police-community partnerships.

During the program at the Garden City Community Park, Detective Rich Pedone ("Officer Rich") distributed Child ID / Fingerprint kits to parents and was on hand to answer questions about public safety. He also offered tips and advice on many different topics including crime reporting, school safety, internet predators, cyber crime, senior crime and alcohol / drug incidents.

Commissioner Ernest Cipullo commented, "Cooperation between the police and public is a very important in preventing and reducing crime.
