The City of Ketchum officials will introduce the new department at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4, in Ketchum’s Forest Service park—just before the free Ketch’em Alive concert that starts at 6:30 p.m.

There will be free popsicles while supplies last.

National Night Out is an annual event that brings neighbors and law enforcement together to build relationships, strengthen community partnerships, and promote public safety. This year's celebration provides an opportunity for the community to meet the officers who will serve Ketchum and learn more about the department's commitment to community policing.
