SEATTLE— The men and women of DEA will join local law enforcement agencies and community groups across the country on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 to participate in National Night Out events.
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes neighborhood camaraderie by strengthening partnerships between police and their communities. National Night Out is an opportunity for neighbors to meet neighbors and to bring police and community together under positive circumstances.
This will be DEA Administrator Terrance Cole’s first National Night Out as the nation’s top drug enforcement officer. Administrator Cole was appointed to his position by President Donald J. Trump, confirmed by the U.S. Senate on July 22, and sworn into office by Attorney General Pam Bondi on July 23.
“National Night Out is an opportunity for DEA to meet the members of our communities whom we have sworn to protect. This night is all about coming together with the common goal to keep our communities safe,” said DEA Administrator Terrance Cole. “We are proud to stand with you tonight, and every night, to fight back against the criminals responsible for the dangerous and deadly drugs that threaten our safety.”
“National Night Out lets DEA engage with the communities we serve and work together to build a future without the misery that drugs bring,” said David F. Reames, Special Agent in Charge, DEA Seattle Field Division. “This year, we will join the Community Safety Network of Toppenish’s National Night Out event in the Yakama Nation. Keeping our communities safe from synthetic opioids takes everyone and I am proud that DEA can be a part of this special night.”
Toppenish National Night Out:
Tuesday, August 5, 2025
6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Pool Park – 20 Asotin Ave. Toppenish, WA 98948
Every year DEA looks forward to participating in National Night Out events to meet community members and bring awareness to the synthetic drug crisis. DEA is committed to removing poison, like fentanyl and methamphetamine, from our streets; saving American lives; and protecting the neighborhoods that make each of our communities unique.
