Fort Irwin hosts National Night Out
By Elizabeth O. Bryson
FORT IRWIN, Calif. — The Fort Irwin Department of Emergency Services (DES) hosted an all-ages event promoting neighborhood safety and cooperation during National Night Out (NNO) Oct. 6, 2023, at the post theater.
DES partners including post law enforcement officers, firefighters and other on-post security departments presented demonstrations and static displays featuring equipment, vehicles, and fire and crime prevention tips aimed at raising safety awareness and strengthening community bonds.
Fort Irwin DES acting director Arturo Calzadillas Jr., at- tended the event.
“This annual event is a great opportunity for us to col- laborate and strengthen our existing relationships with com- munity members and tenant organizations here at Fort Irwin,” Calzadillas said.
Calzadillas explained it was also an opportunity to meet families and service members new to Fort Irwin and build trust through positive engagements.
“We want community members to get to know first respond- ers here on post and see them as part of the neighborhood, not just people they encounter only during a crisis,” Calzadillas added.
According to the National Association of Town Watches,
11 NOV
NNO was founded as a national community-building cam- paign that promotes police-community partnerships and cam- radarie to make neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.
Lt. Jesse Rogers, Headquarters and Headquarters Co., U.S. Army Garrison-Fort Irwin, provost marshal operations officer, organized the event.
“This is a chance for us to educate the public and show them how we work every day to keep Fort Irwin safe,” Rogers said. “We are showing the community why we do the things we do — to keep our neighborhoods as safe as possible.”
Happy Veterans Day
