BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office will once again collaborate with nine local police departments to "celebrate the importance of getting to know your neighbors to build a supportive atmosphere of safety and unity" at National Night Out celebrations.

These celebrations often include events, music, food, law enforcement demonstrations, and more.

National Night Out, held on the first Tuesday of August in communities across the country each year, brings together members of law enforcement and public safety to promote and support police-community relationships. Whether on stoops or at festivals, it shows that neighbors stand together against crime.
