Summit's National Night Out Against Crime
Summit’s Police Department joins police departments from all over the United States in celebrating National Night Out. This event takes place nationwide on the first Tuesday in August.
Summit’s National Night Out will be held at Summit’s Village Green on the corners of Elm, Broad and Maple Streets. The event runs from 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM on Tuesday, August 6, 2013, with a rain date set to Wednesday August 7, 2013. There will be a variety of events scheduled throughout the evening including displays and demonstrations from the Summit Police Department, Summit Fire Department, Summit First Aid Squad, Department of Community Services, the Summit Area YMCA and special appearances from Smokey the Bear and other state and federal emergency service teams.
The Department of Community Programs will host a dunk tank, inflatable rides and a children’s entertainment show featuring kid’s magic, comedy and juggling. There will also be a major concert featuring Exit Row on the Showmobile Stage playing classic rock-n-roll hits. The PAL Hot Dog Cart will be giving out free hot dogs, and new this year will be the Pizza Vita Food Court where you can purchase pizzas, drinks and gelato. Community Organizations and city departments that work in concert with the Summit Police Department will also have information tables.
National Night Out was introduced by the National Association of Town Watch in an effort to heighten awareness and strengthen participation in local anticrime efforts. The first National Night Out was introduced in early 1984 with the event scheduled for the first Tuesday in August. That first year, 400 communities in 23 states participated. Last year’s 28th Annual National Night Out involved 37.0 million people in communities from all 50 states. Over 15,500 communities are expected to participate this year. The City of Summit is proud to be one of those communities. It’s a wonderful opportunity for communities to promote police co-partnerships, crime prevention and neighborhood camaraderie.
Chief Robert Weck urges Summit’s residents to “Join the Summit Police Department in observance of this great national event”. For more information on National Night Out contact the Summit Police Department at (908) 273-0051 or the Department of Community Programs at (908) 277-2932.
