BALTIMORE — After it was rescheduled due to severe weather, Baltimore's National Night Out kicked off on Tuesday.
'National Night Out' began in 1984, with the stated goal of local police departments and neighborhoods coming together to build unity and make communities safer to live and work.
City leaders attended a celebration at the corner of West Baltimore St. and Gorman Ave Tuesday night.
"That's what national night out is all about," Mayor Brandon Scott told the crowd, "residents coming together with everyone in their community to strengthen relationships and show how we can build a safer community together."
Richard Worley, Baltimore's police commissioner, said more officers are walking on-foot and doing more business checks. In prepared remarks, he commended the city's gun violence reduction strategy and community policing efforts.
"We must continue to work hand in hand with the community through events like this so we continue to build back the trust we lost a few years ago, and we're building that back one person at a time," Worley said Tuesday.
A wide range of fun events, including block parties and cookouts, were scheduled around the area.
