Sheriff’s deputies to host ice cream social

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office is hosting National Night Out in Sisters on August 2, 6 to 8 p.m. at Village Green Park, 125 E. Washington Ave.

The event will allow the citizens of Sisters Country to interact with deputies and look at emergency vehicles from patrol, K-9, and the Special Services division.

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office will provide drinks and ice cream to those in attendance in an ice cream social-style meet and greet. Deputies will provide giveaway items for children and allow them to tour vehicles and have opportunities for photos.

National Night Out is a community-police awareness-raising event in the United States, held the first Tuesday of August. The event has been held annually since 1984, and is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch in the United States.

This event is meant to increase awareness about the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office’s presence in Sisters, and to build trust and relationships between the Sheriff’s office and citizens.
