Tuesday night put those who protect and serve our island home on full display, from Key Largo to Key West, as the Florida Keys celebrated 2023’s National Night Out. Representatives from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and Key Colony Beach Police, U.S. Coast Guard, FWC, Florida Highway Patrol, Border Patrol and Fire Rescue crews brought helicopters, boats and even bomb squad robots to showcase their skills – even letting visitors take some of their specialized gear for a test drive.
An annual favorite for kids around the Keys, the goal of National Night Out is to bring the community together and spark conversations about how to make our neighborhoods safer, cleaner and more secure.
