Neighborhood Block Parties SCPD Tour Of Smiles & Fun

Yesterday, Santa Cruz Police Department joined with Santa Cruz Neighbors on dozens of local block parties. This is always a great opportunity for neighbors to meet new friends and say hello to old neighbors.

Thanks to all the hosts who organized block parties, and all the folks that participated. SCPD had a fun time touring each of the neighborhoods.  It's good to see so many neighbors gather together and build relationships that keep our community connected and safe.

This neighborhood spirit builds friendships and supports SCPD in anti-crime efforts. Together, we send a message that our neighborhoods are organized and watching out for each other. 

Thank you Santa Cruz Neighbors!

Neighborhood Night Block Parties a Success Once Again

Thanks to all the hosts who organized block parties, and all those that participated.  In spite of everything we had going on with police calls, we found time to get by many of the events.

We had a great time touring each of the neighborhoods, saying hello to old friends and meeting new ones.

Deputy Chief Clark had the radar trailer out playing catch and tracking the fastball speeds of many neighborhood kids.  I think there were some dads wanting to take their turn too!

We ran into all kinds of people out and about, even mascot Mav’Riks and other representatives from the Santa Cruz Warriors cruising around on a pedi-cab giving out ice cream.

Overall there were 40 block party events.  It was great to see so many neighbors networking and building relationships to keep our neighborhoods safe and improve our quality of life.

Great Job Everyone!
