Night Out Against Crime and Sounds of Summer Concert series continue in Berkeley
BERKELEY - Mayor Carmen F. Amato, Jr., is pleased to announce the fourth installment of our 2014 Sounds of Summer Concert Series will continue on August 6th at Berkeley’s Veterans Park.
"This is also our 3rd Annual Night out Against Crime, which begins at 5:00pm." Mayor Amato said.
"The Berkeley Township Police Department will be on hand to meet and greet residents and to show the different equipment it utilizes. This year, we have added Township First Aid Squads, our three Township Fire Departments, our HAZMAT Unit, Ocean County Sheriff Department K-9 Unit and SWAT team. All of these public safety agencies will have their vehicles and equipment on display as well." Mayor Amato said.
"Weather permitting; we will have an emergency helicopter on hand so residents can get an up-close look. The Ocean County Sheriff’s Department K-9 Unit will team up with Ocean County SWAT team to provide demonstrations. The Ocean County Security Department will host a bike rodeo and bike helmet giveaway." Mayor Amato said.
"Our DARE Program will also be on hand with games and prizes for the children to enjoy. I would like to thank the Berkeley Township PBA Local 237 for generously donating two bounce houses and all of our police officers for their participation once again." Mayor Amato said.
"Special thanks to Chief DiMichele for embracing the idea I brought forth to start the Night out Against Crime in Berkeley three years ago and Sergeant Ryan Roth for organizing the event on behalf of our community. The entertainment for the evening will feature Radio Nashville and will begin at 7:30pm. Please come on out for a great evening and bring a chair. Refreshments are always provided by our area non-profit groups that use these concerts as fundraiser's for their organizations." Mayor Amato concluded.
