Narrative:
 
 The Moorpark Police Department and California Highway Patrol invite our community members to join us for National Night Out on Monday, August 3, 2026, from 5-7 PM at the Moorpark Police Services Center at 610 Spring Rd in Moorpark.
 
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie that make our neighborhoods safer.  We will kick off the event with a copter flyover and will have representatives and displays from several of our specialized units, including a K-9 Unit, Command Post, SWAT Team, Unmanned Aerial Systems, Mounted Enforcement Unit, Tactical Response Team, Volunteers in Policing (hosting a KidPrint booth), Explorers, motor officers, detectives, and more!  Additionally, California Highway Patrol will be hosting a bike rodeo for kids (bring your bikes and helmets if you have them.)  The Ventura County Fire Department will have a fire engine on display in the touch-a-truck area, and our City of Moorpark partners will have a tractor and a dump truck on display. 
 
Several of our community partners will be providing free dinner, drinks, dessert, and back to school supplies to the first 250 guests.  We would like to thank Jimmy Johns, High Sweet Creamery, Starbucks, Target, and Jon Courtney from Village Wealth Advisors for your generous donations and participation in the event.
 
Moorpark Police Chief Nick Odenath said, “National Night Out is a wonderful chance for us to come together as neighbors and celebrate the strong community spirit that makes Moorpark such a special place. I warmly invite all residents to join us on August 3rd for an evening of connection, conversation, and fun. Your presence means a great deal to us, and we look forward to spending time with you.” 
 
The City of Moorpark, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, the Moorpark Police Department, and California Highway Patrol are committed to maintaining the safety of all residents by building community partnerships.  We invite you to come out and ask questions, get crime prevention advice, get to know the officers in our city, and have some fun!
