National

Out connects community, law enforcement

BY CAMERYN OAKES

Interactions with law enforcement can tend to be stressful moments for many people, but National Night Out is intended to ease those tensions between law enforcement and the communities they serve by fostering enjoyable interactions to get to know one another personally.

Port Washington held its second annual National Night Out, an event intended to help build relationships between law enforcement, first responders, government officials and the community.

Present at the National Night Out included the Port Washington Fire Department, Port Washington Police Department, Sands Point Police Department and the Nassau County Police Department.
