Once upon a time, we kept our porch lights on. We opened the door even if we didn’t know who rang the bell. And we could always leave the back door unlocked during the day. National Association of Town Watch is the nation’s premiere non-profit crime prevention organization dedicated to the development and promotion of crime prevention in communities across the nation. NATW is a network of law enforcement agencies, neighborhood watch groups, civic groups, state and regional crime prevention associations and concerned citizens. Through that network, NATW was able to launch the annual National Night Out campaign. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods a safer, better place to live. Together, we are making that happen. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community and provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.

Toward this goal, the Montclair Police Department is inviting you for a "Movie in the Park" event, August 2nd at Alma Hofman Park located at 5201 Benito Street, 7-10pm. Meet Montclair PD Officers and Montclair Firefighters, get safety tips, see equipment demonstrations, promotional give-aways, and child safety registration cards. A certified Car Seat Technician will be available for child seat inspections and installation help. The American Red Cross will have their Bloodmobile available starting at 4pm to accept donations.

The Splash Pad will be open and there will be free face painting and a free photo booth. Popcorn, sweets, grilled hot dogs, and shaved ice will be available for sale. "Star Wars-The Force Awakens" will begin at approximately 8pm.

Montclair PD’s National Night Out event is sponsored by the City of Montclair, Target, and the American Red Cross.
