First Time Middletown Police Participate In National Night Out Tuesday Night

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — For the first year ever, Middletown Township police will be participating in National Night Out, which will be held tomorrow evening, Tuesday, Aug. 1.

The event goes from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday and will be held outdoors at police headquarters and in the police lobby and court room, located at 1 Kings Highway. You can meet and learn more about the Middletown Township Police Department. There will also be car seat installations, a DWI simulation course, K-9 demonstrations, Ident-A-Kid fingerprinting kits, Internet safety presentations, volunteer police auxiliary unit information tables, and a police vehicle and equipment display.

“This event is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, and is an informal way to meet members of the department,” said Middletown Township Police Chief Craig Weber. “We encourage everyone to come out to show how strong we are as a community and that we’ll continue to fight against crime together to keep our neighborhoods safe.”

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. This nationwide movement brings together communities and generates support for local anti-crime efforts by asking residents to spend the evening outside with neighbors and police.
