RICHMOND – The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) celebrated National Night Out throughout early August with partner law enforcement agencies. A total of 40 of the VADOC’s 43 Probation and Parole districts gathered together with their communities for parties, cookouts, and other relationship-building events.
“National Night Out is a great opportunity for our agency and corrections team to connect with fellow Virginians from all over the state,” said VADOC Director Chad Dotson. “I want to thank each participating district, our law enforcement partners, and the local neighborhood groups who organized these important community events.”
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie between law enforcement agencies, other public safety agencies, and communities to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. More information about National Night Out can be found on the organization’s website.
