The 2024 National Night Out with the Parkersburg Police Department made history this week with the highest attendance since the City of Parkersburg began its participation. An estimated 700 attendees and the officers spent the evening hanging out together at the City Park Pool and Splash Pad. The kids took their shot at sinking a Police Officer in a dilly dunker, let loose in a foam party, tested their skills on the inflatable obstacle course, and made various crafts. It takes an entire community to make events like this possible, and we thank the Parkersburg Police Department, organizers, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who made this a special night and so much for everyone. #nationalnightout #policerelations #livelovemov #parkersburgwv #wv
