Gloucester Township ranked seventh in the nation in National Night Out activities and participation
I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the Gloucester Township Police Department for ranking №7 in the country for National Night Out (NNO) 2018, America’s night to stand up to crime.
The National Association of Town Watch (NATW) first introduced National Night Out in August of 1984. The first annual National Night Out involved 2.5 million neighbors across 400 communities in 23 states and has only continued to grow year after year.
Neighborhoods across the nation host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much more.
Today, 38 million neighbors in 16 thousand communities across the nation take part in this national night out against crime. National Night Out is a focus on neighbors getting out of their homes and being reacquainted with one another and meeting our police officers. We are proud of this aspect of our community policing strategy that we really push here in Gloucester Township.
Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in Gloucester Township’s annual National Night Out this past summer. The GTPD couldn’t have received this great honor without all of you!
