It&#8217;s part of one of many National Night Out events happening across the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think this shows the community that we care,&#8221; attendee Bailey Bryen said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The event was hosted by Midtown Dallas Inc., a nonprofit funded by local property owners. It included Dallas police, DART police, the city&#8217;s Office of Emergency Management and The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Public safety is one of Midtown Dallas Inc.&#8217;s core missions, with nearly half a million dollars invested each year into initiatives like\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Midtown Blues, a private patrol partnership.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The team can assist Dallas police and proactively patrol the area to curb illegal and criminal activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They do 20 hours a day, seven days a week,&#8221; Shannon Freeman said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Organizers say this event is part of a growing effort to strengthen ties between residents and police, hoping that it will build trust and open lines of communication.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, we can&#8217;t do this job alone,&#8221; Dallas PD Major Gabriel Candelaria said. &#8220;The community, the residents, they are our eyes and ears as well. It takes everyone to do the job.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can definitely see how creating a friendly face is really important, just to allow people to be more comfortable,&#8221; attendee Madison Phan said.<\/p>\n<p>\n        More from CBS News\n      <\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/texas\/search\/author\/erin-jones\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erin  Jones<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Raised in Richardson, Erin Jones is proud to call North Texas home.
