We're kicking off summer with the first of three Safe City Nights, and you won't want to miss it!

Join us for 3 nights of community fun at its best. These events bring together the Moorhead Police Department, Fire Department, Moorhead Police Athletics and Activities League, Parks and Recreation, and local businesses for an evening packed with activities for all ages.

Mark your calendars for the summer series from 5:30-7:30:

• June 17 at Robert Asp Elementary (910 11 St N)
• June 24 at Queens Park (3201 20 St)
• July 15 at Romkey Park (800 19 St S)

The Red River Valley SWAT Team will conduct a training exercise in Moorhead on Thursday, June 4, from 12–4 pm in the 800 block of 17 St N.

During this scheduled training, community members may see SWAT personnel carrying training firearms and moving around the exterior of a building. No live rounds will be used at any time. Residents in the area should expect to hear loud noises, yelling, and see SWAT vehicles with emergency lights activated. These activities are part of the controlled training environment, and there is no safety concern for the public.

If residents have questions or concerns during the exercise, they may contact the Red River Regional Dispatch Center at 701.451.7660 and ask to speak with a training facilitator at the site.

This training session is closed to the public and members of the media.
