“Seeing our community coming together and creating meaningful relationships through face to face interaction is an amazing thing,” said Bosworth. “National Night out has been bridging relationships between our residents, law enforcement and local business for 36 years and I look forward to joining the community for this year’s event and festivities.”

The event will feature music, singing, dancing, health care services providers, crime prevention information, education resources, cultural entertainment, refreshments, arts & crafts, raffles, games, health screenings, giveaways and more.
“Each year the Town of North Hempstead uses the National Night Out event as a tool to strengthen Community and Law Enforcement relations. I am comfortable in saying each year we come closer to accomplishing and exceeding the goal of responsible community engagement,” said Russell.
