2014 National Night Out 

Thank You

The Middlesex Borough Police Department participated in our fifth annual National Night Out Campaign on August 5, 2014 from 6pm to 8pm at Mountain View Park.  The event was co-sponsored by the Middlesex Borough Municipal Drug Alliance - Community Outreach.  

Police Officers and Municipal Drug Alliance volunteers were on hand to distribute crime prevention and safety literature.  Officers and the public were able to interact in a safe, positive, non-enforcement atmosphere.  Numerous games and activities were set up for the children including a fire truck bounce house.  A local DJ volunteered his time to play music and a local Zumba instructor had groups of kids and adults doing Zumba throughout evening.  The Municipal Drug Alliance provided drinks and snacks including an ice cream truck that provided free ice cream to all attendees.  The Somerset Patriots mascot “Sparky” also made an appearance.  The Middlesex Fire Department, Middlesex Borough Rescue Squad, and Middlesex Office of Emergency Management (OEM) were also on hand with static displays of their vehicles and equipment.  The Middlesex/Dunellen Domestic Violence Response Team, local Girls Scouts and Boy Scouts Troops also set up displays and handed out informational materials. 

I would like to thank Middlesex PBA Local 181, Middlesex Borough Municipal Drug Alliance, local businesses and individuals for their participation, donations and support.  Through the generosity of these groups and individuals our National Night Out Campaign was a great success.  I would also like to thank our Police Officers as well the volunteers from all of our participating groups and agencies who worked so hard to make this event a success.
