Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in this year’s National Night Out on Tuesday, August 1st. The Jersey City Police Department will host the annual community-building event 6:30pm-9:30pm at 4 different locations: Audobon Park, Arlington Park, Hamilton Park & Pershing Field.
Each park will have a DJ and other live music, food, beverages, giveaways for kids, bounce houses, and other materials to promote safety awareness from participating local and community organizations.
The annual National Night Out campaign was established in 1984 to strengthen police and community relations under positive circumstances. In Jersey City the event has become part of a greater effort by the Fulop administration to help the police department connect with residents through these types of programs as well as increasing police presence, opening lines of communication, and easier access to police for help.
Millions of neighborhoods nationwide participate in “America’s Night Out Against Crime.” So feel free to join us next Tuesday, August 1st for a night of family fun while getting to know those who protect and serve your neighborhood.
