Police departments in the D.C. area marked National Night Out on Tuesday, an evening for departments to hold events to strengthen the relationship between police and the communities they serve.
The event comes as many local departments say they’re struggling to recruit new officers. They hoped the events of National Night Out would help them face those challenges.
Amid continued calls for reform and social justice, an increase in gun violence and mass shootings, and in January, an attack on the Capitol that garnered international attention as police officers were rushed by a mob, the year has seen an intense spotlight placed on policing.
