 Yucosca Naval Base is helping build stronger relations between the community and emergency services with the National Night Out Against Crime. The National Night Out is a nationwide annual campaign that builds police community partnerships. This year's event focused on allowing children to interact with base and local police and teaching them what to do in an emergency situation. I think having the kids come out here is a great opportunity for the kids because not all of them have a chance to see a lot of what the base has to offer. It's a positive environment to be around police. The event also included the Japanese Coast Guard and police departments to help build relations with the local community around Yucosca. It's a great opportunity for the Japan-U.S. relations. This is definitely going to be an annual event. This event coincides with Yucosca's Fire Prevention Month and is one of the many ways Yucosca is making sure its residents stay safe. Petty Officer Michael Rainey, Yucosca Naval Base, Japan.
