Horsham Hosts National Crime Prevention Awareness Event

The Horsham Police Department is joining with communities across North America to host a National Night Out event on August 4.

Made possible through donations from local town watch organizations, police departments, and businesses, the event will feature fun and games, police and fire vehicle displays, and more.

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Last year, National Night Out 2014 involved more than 38.1 million people in 16,540 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide.

Horsham residents are invited to join the community at the Horsham Township Municipal Complex on 1025 Horsham Road from 6 to 9 p.m on August 4.
