National Night Out Dates Announced
This year's National
Night Out Event is going to be held on Tuesday, August
7, 2007 and will run from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
The event is sponsored
by the Freehold Borough Police Department and is being
coordinated by Community Relations Officer Ronnie R.
Steppat Jr.
Last year's National
Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement
agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood
organizations and local officials from over 10,000
communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories,
Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all,
over 34 million people participated in National Night
Out 2006."
The goals of National
Night Out are as follows:
- Heighten crime and
drug prevention awareness
- Generate support
for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts
- Strengthen
neighborhood spirit and police-community
partnerships
- Send a message to
criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are
organized and fighting back
The Freehold Borough
event has steadily grown from a small group to a large
fun-filled event for children and families.
Look for us in the Hall
of Records Annex parking lot on the 7th, and we hope to
see you there.
