Display location: Saginaw

State:MI
Date: sixth annual National Night 9:30 p.m.
Details: The Saginaw Township Police Department is hosting its sixth annual National Night Out from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the Township Soccer Complex, where officers hope to provide a "positive setting" for families to interact with public safety workers.
"So often, children are only dealing with the police in negative settings, where Mom or Dad has been stopped by a traffic stop or there's been a crime in their home," says township Officer Brian Kanicki. "This is an opportunity for families and kids to see the police in a positive setting and see police officers as normal human beings."
The department will have several of its squad cars and motorcycles at the complex, Kanicki said. In addition, the Army National Guard will have a Blackhawk helicopter on display, and the township Fire Department will display trucks and allow children to play with the hose.
The event also will feature inflatable games and rides, live music from The Sinclairs Band, and food.
"The kids are going to leave with a ton of prizes and hopefully a bunch of good memories," Kanicki said.
Some also will leave safer. Field Neurosciences Institute's "Think First -- Buckle Your Brain" initiative will give away 300 bike helmets.
The institute's staff, along with township Police Department bike officers, will custom fit the helmets for children 1 and older, teens and adults.
"You can get a good helmet, but if it's not fitted properly, it doesn't work right," Kanicki said.
The night will conclude with fireworks at 9:30 p.m.
