PHOTOS: Officers, neighbors gather for National Night Out
Annual event meant for neighbors to socialize, join fight against crime
Officers, deputies and city leaders fanned out across Albuquerque Tuesday night to meet with residents for National Night Out. The annual event is billed as an opportunity for neighbors to socialize, meet one another and “join fellow citizens in our community’s fight against crime.”
