Be Part Of Your Community At Howell's National Night Out Event

Howell residents are invited to come out Tuesday evening for the town’s celebration of National Night Out.

Police Chief Andrew Kudrick, in post on the Howell police department’s Facebook page, said the event will include local businesses as well as representatives of all of the town’s emergency services -- police, fire, EMS and the Police Athletic League.

“Come out and enjoy the evening. We have some pretty cool demonstrations and activities taking place along with some giveaways such as fashionable NNO T-shirts,” Kudrick said.

“Hey, you might not like us but everyone likes free stuff!” he said.

The event is from 5-8 p.m. at Lanes Mill Marketplace on Route 9.

National Night Out, America’s Night Out Against Crime, has been held for more than 30 years. The 2015 event is expected to include more than 37.8 million neighbors in 16,124 communities across the country in “a cohesive effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.”
