Community Comes Together for National Night Out

Scores of residents came together on the 400 block of N. Rexford Drive to enjoy National Night Out in Beverly Hills on Aug. 5. The community-building event takes place simultaneously across the country in an effort to strengthen the ties between police and the community. The Beverly Hills event included the Beverly Hills Police Department, Fire Department and other city departments and included displays, food trucks and interactive activities.
