Hackensack hosts National Night Out August 2

   You are invited to participate in Hackensack’s National Night Out August 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Hackensack Community Building.

   National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.  National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community.  Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

   Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide.  On the first Tuesday in August, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much more.

   This event has been held annually since 1984 and is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch in the United States and Canada. National Night Out began simply with neighbors turning on their porch lights and sitting in front of their homes.  From the first, National Night Out involved 2.5 Million residents across 400 communities in 23 states. National Night Out has grown to include more than thirty-eight million residents in twenty-thousand communities across the USA as of 2016.
