Chief Chad M. Adams and the Morgan City Police Department are excited to announce that South 70 with special guest Toni 0 will be performing at the 2024 National Night Out Against Crime. The event, which will take place on October 15, 2024, at Lawrence Park in Morgan City from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., is expected to be another good one. 

This year's event is co-hosted with Doric Lodge#87 Free & Accepted Masons who started the National Night Out Against Crime in 2013. Without Doric Lodge#87 this event would not even be possible. The Morgan City Police Department would like to thank them for being a Community Leader in bringing the National Night Out to Morgan City. 

Chief Adams would also like to thank the Morgan City Police Department Benevolent Association, Dignity Memorial, Tech Savvy Solutions, and Prevention Plus Care for their contributions in bringing this event together. Your Community Partnerships are greatly valued.
