Doylestown National Night Out Planned Tuesday

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Every year on the first Tuesday of August, communities across the country and their local law enforcement agencies come together to promote public safety and build community-police partnerships in the community.

This week, Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) and Norma J. Torres (CA-35) introduced a bipartisan resolution to recognize August 3, 2021 as National Night Out.

“Strong community-police partnerships can unite us all and help our communities thrive by promoting public safety awareness,” Fitzpatrick said. “Throughout Bucks and Montgomery Counties, I am proud of the many police departments that bring our neighborhoods together and foster a sense of community by organizing activities and participating in National Night Out.

National Night Out started with neighbors turning on their porch lights and sitting outside their homes. This year, the 38th National Night Out will fall on Tuesday, August 3, and has been celebrated by more than 38,000,000 neighbors in over 16,000 communities across the United States.

Doylestown's National Night Out will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Central Park, 425 Wells Rd, Doylestown, PA.
