The Redmond Police Department is asking neighborhoods, businesses, and apartment complexes to participate in the 26th Annual National Night Out Against Crime on Tuesday, Aug. 4.

Members of the police department, fire department, city council, and national sponsor Target will be attending parties between 6-10 p.m.
