National Night Out
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases worldwide on the first Tuesday in August (Texas and select areas celebrate on the first Tuesday in October). Neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and various other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits and much, much more.
The Bernardsville Police Department will be participating in National Night Out on August 5th, 2025 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. The event will be held at the Bernardsville Polo Grounds, which are located at 141 Seney Drive, Bernardsville, NJ.
The National Night Out program was introduced by the National Association of Town Watch in 1984. The event serves to foster crime and drug prevention awareness and promotes positive police-community partnerships.
Residents are invited attend this free community event in support of National Night Out. The event provides an opportunity for residents to meet members of the Police Department and members of our local emergency services. The event also will feature crime prevention information, a showcase of public safety & community programs, and a display of emergency vehicles.
Additional activities include: face painting, coloring station, obstacle course, bounce house, Police K9 demonstration, and light food and drinks will be served.
We would like to thank our sponsors for their support in making this a great event.
