Gadsden’s third annual Community Safety Night filled The Venue at Coosa Landing on Tuesday, giving families a chance to meet the first responders who patrol, treat and protect Etowah County daily.

The Gadsden Police Department hosted the event from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., bringing food, activities, demonstrations and free T-shirts for kids to the annual gathering. The evening gave residents a family-friendly setting to meet local first responders, while representatives from local organizations explained the assistance they provide throughout the community.
