October is upon us and that means cooler temperatures, outdoor festivals and all things scary and spooky. There are countless activities happening this time of year and I want to ensure our residents that the safety and well-being of our community remains paramount. Our commitment to safety and service remains stronger than ever. I encourage you to stay vigilant and stay involved.
October is also host to National Night Out Against Crime and our annual kickoff party. This year, the kickoff party will be held Oct. 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Pontchartrain Center. This is one of my most favorite events of the year. Not only is this a fantastic family-friendly event, but it’s also an opportunity to meet so many of our citizens. This year’s kickoff party promises to be one of the best yet. Please join me and members of the KPD for a fun-filled day of live music, food and camaraderie.
On Tues. Oct. 8, neighborhoods all over the city will host block parties, cookouts and gatherings as we take a stand against crime. Myself and many of my officers will be visiting Night Out parties. Let’s take this opportunity to get to know each other and talk about any concerns you may have in your neighborhood. If you are planning to host a party, please fill out our registration form here so we can arrange to have an officer stop by.
As Halloween approaches, let me take a moment to remind everyone of some important safety tips. It takes all of us to ensure our youngest citizens are safe as they trick-or-treat.
Stay Visible: Wear bright or reflective costumes and carry a glow stick or flashlight as you walk from house to house.
Stick Together: Trick-or-treat in groups. Avoid walking alone.
Candy Check: Before consuming any treats, inspect them to make sure they are properly sealed and safe to eat.
Drive Cautiously: Once it becomes dark out, please drive slowly in our neighborhoods. Expect heavy pedestrian traffic and watch for children.
