MSgt Jason Burgess has invited the neighborhood to come to “Cookout with Cops” on Saturday, April 11, 2026.

Community invited to “Cookout with Cops” in South Oklahoma City

The community is invited to attend “Cookout with Cops,” a free community event hosted by Neighborhood Alliance of Central Oklahoma, the Oklahoma City Police Department and Calle Dos Cinco.

The event is from noon to 4 p.m. on April 11 at Plaza Calle Dos Cinco, SW 25th and S. Harvey Ave. Free food and refreshments will be served from noon to 2 p.m. Activities include a custom car show, family-friendly games, community resources and information about neighborhood safety.

“Cookout with Cops” is the latest in a series of events designed to bring communities and OKC police officers together in a relaxed atmosphere to eat, meet and connect.

“Events like ‘Cookout with Cops’ help bring people together,” said Myron Mayberry, NACOK Executive Director. “It’s a great opportunity to connect the community to OKCPD officers in their neighborhoods, which encourages open dialogue, builds trust, and creates a welcoming space outside of traditional settings.”

The event is free and open to the public.

“Building strong relationships with the people we serve is one of the most important parts of our job,” said OKCPD Chief Ron Bacy. “Cookout with Cops gives our officers and residents a chance to meet, talk, and connect in a positive setting. These kinds of interactions help strengthen trust in our community.”

Get Involved!

As the Holidays are approaching we want to make sure our neighborhood remains safe. 

Over the years, we have had as many as 18 neighbors that would give up an hour or two a week to

help patrol Harvest Hills South. Due to medical reasons and some neighbors moving out of the neighborhood, we need your help in rebuild our patrol unit back up. 

For several years, we had very few incidents occur in Harvest Hills South, but we are starting to see an increase in car break ins. 

Please “GET INVOLVED” and help keep Harvest Hills South a safe neighborhood!

Please contact us and let us know if you are interested and we can get you registered or click the link below. Training takes a little over about an hour at the Hefner Division Police Station.

A HHSNA Neighbors Night Out Story

For those of you that are new to the neighborhood, approximately 7 years ago, we tried something new for Harvest Hills South Neighbors Night Out by creating one location and having a Block Party!

It was a great experience, especially for two ladies who have lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years. These two ladies were the best of friends in college, graduated, got married and over the years went their separate ways. Jobs changed and families grew. Life took over and so their daily, weekly talks got to be less and less since they had moved away. Phone calls changed to letter writing once a month and then only to birthday cards and Christmas cards, until they lost touch all together.

Years had passed and they both had lost their husbands. But it was ironic that each found a home here in Harvest Hills South. But they had lost touch with their best friend and had no idea that they were living in the same neighborhood only one street way from each other.

Fast forward, Harvest Hills South started our first block party and I wish I still had the picture of when they saw each other again for the first time after 20yrs! They spent the whole night catching up, laughing and sharing pictures of their families. They missed out on being in each other lives for all those years. But since that time, they have been making up for it. It was like they were never apart. These two ladies have since gotten up in years and have gone to live with their children. They remain close and their children help them to stay in contact and take them to go visit each other.

You never know who you might meet at Neighbors Night Out. It could be a long lost friend or maybe even the love of your life!

We hope to see you there. September 9th, from 6-8 pm on NW79th Street and Harvest Hills Rd.

Mark your calendars! September 9th, 6-8pm

Crime Patrol Volunteer- Harvest Hills South

Please let us know if you can spare a couple hours a week or month to help protect Harvest Hills South. We have people who can partner with you if needed. We have lost several patrollers due to illness and some have moved out of the neighborhood, so we really need your support. Let us know after you register and one of our patrollers will meet you there.

  • flexible with the scheduling- mornings, afternoon and evening shifts available.

How can we all help

  • Keep your outside lights on at night. Several streets are very dark and welcoming to crime.
  • Make sure we have your contact phone numbers, so the patrollers can call you if you have your garage door open at night.
  • Practice the 9pm rule. At 9pm, you check to make sure your garage and doors are closed and locked.
  • Look at your neighbors across from you to see if theirs is closed too. If theirs are open, call and let them know.

Let’s help protect each other.
