The Dunwoody Police Department will host two free events on Aug. 3 and 4 to help citizens better protect themselves.

From 6-8 p.m. Aug. 3, a free seminar will be offered on Citizens Response to Active Attack Events.

The seminar will take place in the Council Chambers, Dunwoody City Hall, 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road.

During an active-shooter event, participants will learn how to maximize their safety until officers arrive to stop the threat.

For National Night Out, the event will be held from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 4 at Brook Run Park, 4770 N. Peachtree Road, Dunwoody during Food Truck Thursdays.

Talk to police officers, citizen volunteers and other public safety professionals in an informal setting.
