The City of Prior Lake will celebrate Night to Unite Tuesday, Aug. 5 with visits to neighborhood block parties by city leaders, staff, police, and firefighters.

Night to Unite is held the first Tuesday in August and was started by the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association, a statewide non-profit organization of citizens, law enforcement officers and crime prevention specialists. The event was created to promote, develop, and advance crime prevention programs.

Last year, children at more than 30 neighborhood gatherings got a close and personal look at squad cars, fire trucks, and other city vehicles. If you would like city staff to visit to your neighborhood event, let us know today: priorlakemn.gov/night-to-unite.
