National Night Out in Rowlett is Monday, October 3 The Rowlett Police Department invites you and your neighborhood to participate in National Night Out! Residents throughout the community are encouraged to turn on the porch light, lock the door and gather with neighbors to show unity against criminal activity. Many neighborhoods plan special events such as block parties and cookouts. If yours is one of those, the Rowlett Police, Fire, Parks & Recreation, and Public Works Departments would love the opportunity to drop in and visit with everyone. They can bring the SWAT vehicle, squad cars, fire engines, large construction vehicles and more for kids (and adults!) to climb on, into and enjoy. Members of the City Council and City staff will also be dropping in on all the celebrations. More info…
