Inkster police hosting community events

The Inkster Police Department is planning several community events this summer. 

The Inkster police and Inkster Housing Commission are planning a ‘cool’ Popsicle Giveaway this Saturday, July 22.

The Popsicle Giveaway will take place from noon until 2 p.m. at the Inkster Housing Envision Center, 4360 Hickory St. There will be free popsicles, juices, games, music and prizes awarded to participants. 

Next week, the police department will present Movie Night beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, July 28. The movie Encanto will be shown at the police department parking lot at 26279 Michigan Ave. The evening includes music, games and prizes, officials said.  

National Night Out will be celebrated from 5 until 10 p.m. at the police station on Tuesday, Aug. 1.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer and a more caring place to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community, according to the website. The event also provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

Sponsorships for National Night Out in Inkster are still being accepted to help fund the event which is free to the public.
