National Night Out will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday in Glendale with more than 30 block parties planned.

At the event in the 2200 block of Bonita Drive, approximately 300 people are expected to attend, according to police, and Police Chief Robert Castro and Fire Chief Greg Fish are slated to be at that location.

National Night Out is designed to develop stronger bonds between residents and local police officers as well as increase neighborhood camaraderie to improve safety.
