Police and Fire Departments to Host Annual Lemonade Stand Fundraiser July 18 and 19

The City Council of Brownsburg, Indiana, convened on July 8, 2025, to discuss several community-focused initiatives and address ongoing public safety concerns. Among the key topics was the upcoming National Night Out, scheduled for October 7, 2025, at Arbuckle Acres. This annual event aims to foster community engagement and strengthen relationships between residents and law enforcement. Council members noted requests from the community to extend the event's hours, currently set from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, to allow more time for attendees to visit booths and participate in activities. The council is considering adding an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the schedule and will provide updates through social media as the date approaches.

In addition to community events, the council addressed recent incidents of vandalism on the B&O Trail, where graffiti and foul language have been reported. Police are actively investigating these incidents, which have occurred during daylight hours, and are urging residents to report any suspicious activity to help prevent further damage.

The meeting also highlighted a successful collaboration between the Brownsburg Police Department and the Hendricks County Sheriff's Department in addressing an ATM theft. Officers utilized advanced investigative techniques to identify a suspect, leading to a warrant and the recovery of approximately $62,000 in stolen currency. This incident underscores the importance of inter-agency cooperation in tackling crime that affects the community.

Furthermore, the council promoted an upcoming annual lemonade stand event, where local youth will raise funds for both the police and fire departments, as well as Habitat for Humanity. Scheduled for July 18 and 19, this initiative not only supports local services but also encourages community involvement and youth engagement.

Overall, the meeting reflected the council's commitment to enhancing community safety, fostering engagement through events, and promoting collaborative efforts among local law enforcement agencies. As these initiatives unfold, the council will continue to keep the public informed and involved in community matters.
