The Red Bank Police Department hosts an evening of fun as part of the National Night Out Against Crime campaign — this year for the first time at Count Basie Fields.

This year’s event includes a cook out, a dunk tank, music, games and giveaways. Various community groups and organizations will also be present to explain their services and activities. The evening will conclude with an outdoor screening of “The Lego Movie 2” starting at dusk.

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.
