Latest news, weather and high school sports for Albany and Southwest Georgia

ALBANY, GA -- One night after Dougherty County held their, "Night Out" event, the city of Sylvester held their own to promote a deeper relationship between public servants and the community.

"Well we try and promote cooperation between the community and the local law enforcement agencies, we hope we have a good crowd, we're not sure how many there's going to be, but we're hoping for a very good crowd tonight," said Sylvester Police Chief, Robert Jennings.

The event is held across the country, and besides building a bond between Police, Fire, and the Community, children can come out and get free school supplies for the upcoming academic year.
