Night to Unite 2026

Date: August 4, 2026

Building safer communities one block at a time.

On one August evening each year, neighborhoods across our county come together with a shared purpose: connection. Night to Unite is more than a gathering, it’s a powerful reminder that public safety starts with strong relationships.

From backyard barbecues to block parties, residents, deputies, and community partners step out from behind their usual roles to meet face-to-face, build trust, and strengthen the partnerships that keep our neighborhoods safe.

What is Night to Unite?

Night to Unite is a community-building event that encourages neighbors to connect with one another and with their local law enforcement. It’s about:

Strengthening relationships between residents and deputies
Building a sense of community and belonging
Creating safer, more connected neighborhoods
Opening the door for positive, meaningful conversations

When neighbors know each other—and know their deputies—communities are stronger and safer.
