Livingston Police 'National Night Out' Event Returns For 2021

LIVINGSTON, NJ — The Livingston Police Department will hold the community’s 12th annual National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 3.

According to Livingston police, due to the pandemic, the event will be held in an alternative format which will help to limit the crowd sizes. Instead of one large event, the police department will caravan throughout the township, using central locations as meeting points. The caravan will begin at 5 p.m. and work its way around town to end at the Memorial Oval.

A full schedule will be announced in the upcoming weeks, and will include “fun, surprises, giveaways and special guests at each location,” police said.

The LPD stated:

“National Night Out festivities are held nationwide and are meant to increase awareness about police anti-crime programs that are taking place in communities. Last year, over 37 million people in all 50 states, as well as U.S. territories, Canada and military bases worldwide participated in the yearly event.”

Questions about Livingston’s upcoming National Night Out can be answered by the Community Policing Unit at (973) 992-3000, ext. 3600, or jklapal@livingstonnj.org.
