East Windsor Township again will participate in National Night Out, this year from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2, at the East Windsor Police Athletic League Complex at 30 Airport Road.
This year’s event 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.
The event is sponsored by Mayor Janice Mironov and members of council in conjunction with Chief of Police Harry Marshall and the police department.
“East Windsor Township is committed to strengthening neighborhood unity and police and community partnerships to help deter crime and to enhance our local quality of life,” said Mayor Mironov. “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.”
Additionally, 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 will be available.
“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,” said Mayor Mironov. “I encourage all East Windsor residents to stop by and join with us in this fun and positive evening of fellowship and activities.”
