Rollins Park bustled with activity on Tuesday evening for National Night Out despite the continued heat and humidity. The event gives law enforcement and other organizations a chance to continue building relationships with community members and bring awareness to crime and drug prevention. The annual event, held in communities across the country, has been taking place for 35 years.
