Residents of Sheffield Township came together Tuesday night for a night of safety information and fun at their 3rd National Night Out event.

National Night Out is the nation's night out against crime. Sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, residents are encouraged to join with their neighbors to have a neighborhood block party, ice cream social or other outdoor event to build neighborhood spirit and unity - which is the first defense against crime. Research shows that when neighbors know each other and look out for each other crime goes down.

Lorain County Sheriff’s Department Auxiliary were on hand to fingerprint and create ID’s for children.

Residents were able to take tours of the Lorain County Emergency Management Agency’s Command Post and a STAT MED EVAC helicopter.

Children also learned what to do in case of a fire inside of the Smoke House.
