Last week the Broomfield community celebrated the police department’s annual National Night Out in the Broomfield County Commons Park! Residents came out to say “hello” to their local first responders and learn what it takes to run a city. Kids of all ages were able to climb inside the big trucks and tractors at this year's Touch-a-Truck while exploring all aspects of emergency management. Thank you to everyone in the community who came out and was able to make this event possible!
