The National Night Out, an event to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and the community, will be returning to Manhasset on Aug. 5.
“National Night Out is all about strengthening our relationships with local law enforcement, organizations, and community groups,” North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena said. “It’s a time-honored tradition that lets us get better acquainted with our neighbors and neighborhoods in a casual, fun environment, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.”
National Night Out in Manhasset will be held from 4-6 p.m. at Whitney Pond Park.
The event in Manhasset is one of two being held in the Town of North Hempstead, with the other hosted in Westbury.
National Night Out is a nationwide event held on the first Tuesday of August.
The event’s intent is to provide a venue for the community to interact with local law enforcement, first responders, and businesses, with the goal of strengthening police-community partnerships to foster safer and more caring communities.
Also present at the event will be healthcare providers and a diversity of educational resources.
In addition to interacting with local law enforcement, community members can enjoy live music, entertainment, refreshments, arts and crafts, raffles, and various other activities.
