NATIONAL NIGHT OUT 2023

National Night Out, a national community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships, was held on Tuesday, August 1^st at the Northside Train Lot in Westfield. The free event was sponsored by the Town of Westfield and along with fun activities the main focus was for residents to meet and greet with the town’s first responders and other town officials. Participants were treated to music, free food and giveaways, demos, goat petting, a dunk tank, and many other attractions.

National Night Out is held annually. It 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. For more information visit natw.org.
