East Windsor National Night Out 2018: What You Need To Know

EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — East Windsor Township officials and the East Windsor Township Police Department will host the township's National Night Out event on Tuesday, Aug. 7, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the East Windsor P.A.L. Complex at 30 Airport Road.

National Night Out is an initiative in which people in towns across the country gather at their homes, on their streets, and at their local community centers in recognition of their support of the community. It helps strengthen the partnership between the community and police.

“East Windsor Township is committed to strengthening neighborhood unity and police and community partnerships to help deter crime and to enhance our local quality of life,” Mayor Janice S. Mironov said. “The township has participated in hosting National Night Out for many years, during which we have provided thousands of citizens with information on crime prevention and community partnerships.”

The event will feature police, fire and emergency medical services equipment, and crime watch information. There will be demonstrations by a canine trained in detecting illegal drugs, child car safety seat inspections and demonstrations by the American Red Cross. Many community groups and area businesses will host booths with information and giveaways supporting the National Night Out theme.

ID cards will be available for children. There will also be fire hose demonstrations, face painting, a moon bounce, a rock climbing wall, music and refreshments.

“We are pleased to be a part of this national effort which provides an opportunity to enhance positive relationships between our citizens and local government,” Mironov said. “I encourage all East Windsor residents to stop by and join with us in this fun and positive evening of fellowship and activities.”
