The "Night of Helping Each Other" was initiated by the non-profit organization National Association of Town Watch in 1984. It is an annual event in the American police community. On the first Tuesday of August every year, police across the United States hold a variety of police demonstrations and other activities to communicate face-to-face with local community residents, enhance mutual understanding and trust between police and the public, and help each other to fight crime together.

The Alhambra Police Department in Los Angeles County, California, a city with a large Chinese population, moved the "Night of Helping Each Other" event from the police station in previous years to a larger community park. In an interview with China News Service, Rodney Castillo, a police inspector at the Alhambra Police Department, said that this year's "Night of Helping Each Other" event started at 6 p.m. and lasted for two and a half hours. It featured a display and experience of police equipment such as police cars and police equipment, and a demonstration of police dog work. Police officers also demonstrated on-site how to intercept and arrest "suspects". The event was richer than before and there were more people on site.
