FREE Supplies & Safety
Doral, FL – On August 6, 2019, the Doral Police Department and the Parks & Police 4 Kids (PP4K) Foundation joined forces with sponsors and partners for National Night Out and Back to School, presented by Jackson Health. This fun-filled

to offer tips on crime watch and public safety, as well as answering questions.
“Doral’s strong sense of community truly shines at this event with so many residents, sponsors and City departments coming together to prepare for the new school year as a family,” said Mayor Juan Carlos Bermudez. “The safety and success of our youth
is paramount, and this event is just one of the many ways in which we continually support those priorities.”
PP4K is a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit corporation organized to provide child welfare and family services to the community. The Mayor and City Council, along with the Police Department and the Parks & Recreation Department, work closely with PP4K
to coordinate events and programs geared towards achieving this important goal.
