The Princeton Police Department would like to thank all who participated in National Night Out this year.

We had a record number of community organizations participate this year, filling up both shelter houses and the area around them. It was a great opportunity for attendees to see what our community has to offer. If you are interested in having your organization present at National Night Out next year, please let us know and we will add you to the growing list of community partners wo set up tables there.

This event could not have taken place without the help of sponsors and volunteers. We especially want to thank the Princeton Moose Lodge for providing free hot dogs, In Home Care Connections for providing free bottles of water, Culvers for providing free custard, Princeton Park District for the beautiful park to host this event and Peg Maciejewski for organizing the entire event.

We especially want to thank all the community members who came out and enjoyed a night with their neighbors as we celebrated everything Princeton has to offer!
