The Allen County Sheriffs Office will be hosting our 5th Annual National Night Out at the Allen County Fairgrounds in the Roschman Park area (Shelter House and Pond). Last year we had nearly 1,100 people in attendance throughout the night! This years event will run from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM. We will once again have the entire lineup of Sheriffs Office Teams and Divisions proudly on display to demonstrate their abilities, enhance communication and promote safety. Some of the services you will get to see will be: the Sheriffs Office K-9 Corps, the Mounted Posse, the SWAT Team, Dive Team, Patrol Division, and Bomb Squad. We will also be joined by several other agencies.

Lastly, we have collaborated again with the great staff of Anytime Fitness (2119 Elida Rd., Lima) to host a 5K during our National Night Out event to benefit the Allen County D.A.R.E. program. The 5K will be at the fairgrounds and will begin and end close to Roschman Park. It is scheduled for a 7:00 PM start time.
