National Night Out (NNO) is a community-driven event where neighbors get to know each other and share concerns, strategies, and ideas for safer communities. NNO culminates annually on the first Tuesday in August. In 2025, NNO will take place on Tuesday, August 5 from 5 PM to 9 PM. 

The Glendale Police Department, the Glendale Fire Department, members of the Glendale City Council and City officials visited these events to hear concerns and ideas, and explore how they might work together to improve the safety of their neighborhoods.

Please join us for National Night Out at Pacific Park! Enjoy police vehicles, the SWAT truck, food, fun, and games for the whole family.

Jingle Bell Ride 

Santa Claus partners with the Glendale Police Department each December for a Jingle Bell Ride around the Jewel City. Glendale Police Motor Officers guide Santa's sleigh -- the Glendale Police Department's MedCat -- through the city. In 2025, Santa will tour Glendale over two nights -- dates and routes coming soon.

Montrose Christmas Parade

The Glendale Police Department is proud to participate in the annual Montrose Christmas Parade organized by the Montrose Christmas Parade Association. Annually, Glendale's Police leadership, SWAT, and other sworn personnel join the parade, while traffic and parking officers maintain road closures along the Honolulu Avenue route. To learn more about the Montrose Christmas Parade, visit their website.

The Glendale Police Department is proud to hold an annual open house event, inviting the community to see the many sides of the police department.

The 2025 Open House will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2025 at the Glendale Police Station, 131 N. Isabel St. The fun runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and includes station tours, K9 demonstrations, a rock climbing wall, SWAT and detective bureau displays and a forensic crime scene activity for kids. Free hot dogs will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Department's Touch-A-Truck event will be held at the same time. Attendees will be able to climb on to their favorite city vehicles, including a police car, police motorcycle, fire truck, trash truck, cement truck, backhoe and more!

The open house provides community members and law enforcement personnel the chance to interact on a more personal level. It also allows personnel to inform the community about the functions of each Glendale Police Department bureau. We look forward to seeing you at the station soon!

Since 2015, the Glendale Police Department has participated in the Pink Patch Project to raise awareness about breast cancer -- which will develop in 1 in 8 women in the United States in their lifetime -- in October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

As a part of this annual health campaign, the Glendale Police Department sells a pink version of its department patch to raise funds for breast cancer research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and a cure. 

Glendale Police Officers’ Association (GPOA) partners with the Pink Patch Project, founded in 2013 by the Seal Beach Police Department, to sell pink patches. The limited edition patch is available for $10 at the police station front desk, 131 N. Isabel St., every October. For more information, contact the GPOA at gpoa@pacbell.net.

The Glendale Police Department also raises awareness by adding a bright pink Ford Explorer police unit and pink motorcycles to its fleet of vehicles in October. The pink Explorer is displayed at various cancer awareness events and businesses in Glendale throughout the month.

The Glendale Police Department breast cancer awareness vehicles are sponsored by Glendale Police Foundation, Vital Medical Services, Dignity Health Glendale Memorial Hospital, Adventist Medical Center, USC Verdugo Hills Hospital, Bistagne Bros Body Shop, Sierra Sign Images, and Megaplex Tinting.

Without the generous support from our community, this campaign would not be possible. To learn more about the Pink Patch Project, visit PinkPatchProject.com.
