EAST WINDSOR — National Night Out, sponsored by Mayor Janice Mironov and members of council in conjunction with Police Chief Harry Marshall and the police department, will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 4 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the East Windsor Police Athletic League complex at 30 Airport Road.
“East Windsor Township is committed to strengthening neighborhood unity and police and community partnerships to help heighten awareness and deter crime and enhance our local quality of life,” Mayor Mironov said. “The township has participated in hosting National Night Out for many years, during which we have provided thousands of citizens with information on crime prevention and community partnerships.”
This year’s East Windsor Township event, which has much to interest adults and children, will feature police, fire and emergency medical services equipment, and crime watch information. There will be demonstrations by a canine trained in detecting illegal drugs, child car safety seat inspections and demonstrations by the American Red Cross.
Many community groups and area businesses will host booths with information and giveaways supporting the National Night Out theme. Area groups and businesses wishing to participate can contact Det. Joseph Gorski at 609-448-5678, ext. 231 or [email protected].
Additionally, at the National Night Out, areas will be set up for issuance of identification cards for children, fire hose demonstrations and face painting. Further activities will include a moon bounce, a rock-climbing wall, music and refreshments.
Mayor Mironov said, “We are pleased to be a part of this national effort which provides an opportunity to enhance positive relationships between our citizens and local government. I encourage all East Windsor residents to stop by and join with us in this fun and positive evening of fellowship and activities.”
