“We will be there…the [Beaver Dam Police Department] will have several officers and our special teams will probably have some special equipment from our emergency response team…we’ll have our drone crew there…Project Lifesaver,” says Johnson. “We’ll have a squad cars there…if kids want to come in and see what it is like to sit inside of squad car and turn on the lights and sirens they can do that…ask us any questions they want…interact with us…we’ll have the fire department there.”
Johnson says other local agencies that play a key role in the community will be on hand for National Night Out.
“PAVE comes down…we have Dodge County Human Services…probation and parole even does something,” says Johnson. “We’ll have a DJ with live music…there’ll be free ice cream….there’ll be plenty of swag that you can pick up from all these different organizations…all kinds of fun stuff.”
