Hoboken Police to Host Annual National Night Out

The Hoboken Police Department will host the annual National Night Out in August.

On Tuesday, August 7 the nationwide event will be celebrated in Hoboken again.

This year, the police department would like to see more members of the community involved with the event, according to Sgt. Melissa Gigante.

National Night Out is a nationwide event that allows the community workers to give back to their community, according to Gigante. The goals of National Night Out are to heighten crime and drug awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community partnership. The event is also supposed to send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.  

If you wish to participate, please contact  Sergeant Melissa Gigante @ 201-420-2100.  We look forward to working together with you to make our community safer, stronger and more unified then ever before!
