           Night out

           The   Inkster   Police
           Department celebration of
           National Night Out earlier
           this month brought out
           local residents of all ages
           to enjoy multiple attrac-
           tions including a wild ani-
           mal show from Animal
           Safari which gave visitors,
           and police officers, a very
           close look at a 16-foot-
           long python, a kangaroo,
           an alligator and a wood-
           chuck, among others
           exotic creatures. Inkster
           police officers and auxil-
           iary officers spent time in
           a dunk-tank and troopers
           from the Michigan State
           Police let visitors take a
           look at the patrol cars and
           other equipment. The
           guests enjoyed a wide
           array of free food, live
           music, a video game
           truck, bounce houses,
           henna artists and many
           other attractions in the
           parking lot at police head-
           quarters. Officers said the
           event was a huge suc-
           cess and they are hoping
           for even more participa-
           tion in the national event
           next year.
