For Immediate Release:
August 5, 2024

The evening of Tuesday, August 6, 2024 will be celebrated nationally as America’s night out against crime. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes strong police/community partnerships and neighborhood rapport to make communities safer, more caring places to live and work. Many Bergen County towns will offer family friendly activities, food, and informational giveaways.

At this year’s events, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office will once again collaborate with nine local police departments to celebrate the importance of getting to know your neighbors to build a supportive atmosphere of safety and unity.

“We view National Night Out as a valuable opportunity to share important crime prevention and safety messages as we engage with local residents,” said Prosecutor Mark Musella. “This annual event encourages a true sense of community by providing a welcoming atmosphere where residents can interact with their neighbors and law enforcement.”
