Gloucester Township Police Still Seek Volunteers for National Night Out

This year's National Night Out is set for Aug. 2.

Gloucester Township, NJ -- The Gloucester Township Police Department is still looking for residents who want to participate in this year’s National Night Out event on Aug. 2.

“It does not have to be a big gathering,” police said on Tuesday. “There are several weeks left to join the fun and build a stronger partnership with our community.”

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.
