The Bend Police Department will host its National Night Out at Bear Creek Elementary School from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6.
The event was originally slated to take place at Bend High, but that location is no longer available due to the school district’s recent announcement that it must begin demolishing the school’s auditorium.
Instead, Bend Police hope you’ll join us for the festivities at Bear Creek Elementary School, 51 NE 13th Street, Bend.
The event, Bend’s community night out, is part of a nationwide program designed to foster strong relationships between the community and law enforcement.
This family-friendly, completely free event will feature tons of fun and free treats. A DJ will be spinning tunes and a variety of vehicles will be on display for kids and adults alike to check out, including a Bend Police patrol car, the police BearCat and a fire engine. You’ll find police officers dishing out hot dogs and other treats, as well as lawn games, facepainting and a bounce house.
Throughout the evening, Bend Police will be on site to demonstrate its unmanned aerial systems (drones) and show off members of the K9 unit.
This event would not be possible without our wonderful sponsors, BASX, City of Bend, Mid Oregon Credit Union, Safeway, St. Charles Health System, Boy Scouts of America – Crater Lake Council.

Bachelor National Ski Patrol, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Oregon National Guard, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Walmart.
