INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Law enforcement officers were busy Tuesday night meeting the people and communities they protect, for the 41st annual National Night Out.
It’s an effort that’s much more than one night for Indy neighborhoods looking for solutions to violence.
“It’s an opportunity to engage with one another,” said Adreonna Riggs, the Treasurer of Crown Hill Neighborhood Association.
Dozens of people in the Crown Hill community came out for the annual event that provided food, resources, and a chance for residents to get to know local law enforcement officials. Mayor Joe Hogsett was also in attendance.
“Connection creates concern. If there’s more connection with our first responders with public officials to our community then we’re going to have better relationships,” Riggs explained.
Riggs is the youngest member of the neighborhood association and is passionate about helping foster change in the neighborhood that’s seen a recent rise in homicides with six already this year.
