National Night Out 2016
National Night Out 2016 takes place on Tuesday August 2,
2016. Trenton NJ will again be a part of
this national celebration.
“National Night Out is an annual
community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and
neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to
live.”
Over 100 people gathered for this evenings press conference
including members of Mayor Eric Jackson’s Cabinet, Trenton Police, Trenton Fire
and Emergency Services, City Council, Civic Associations, supporting
departments, various Faith Centers and a diverse population of residents from
toddler age to our “seasoned” women and men.
Attendees heard brief statements from Trenton Police
Director Ernest Parrey, Councilwomen Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, Marge
Caldwell-Wilson, Congresswoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman and Mercer County
Prosecutor Angelo Onofri. Mayor Jackson
encouraged all attendees to “be better by putting differences away and to work
together to make Trenton an example of what a Capital City can be!”
A raffle/drawing and one participating organization from
each of the four Wards won a an inflatable prize. Det. Alexis Durlacher is the contact person
and will have information for the winning organizations.
Light refreshments of water and cake were available as well
as t-shirts for the registered participating organizations.
The press conference also included an impromptu singing of
“Happy Birthday” to Mayor Jackson.
Franklin Park is a participating location and I encourage
you to visit with your friends, families and neighbors. More information is available on the City of
Trenton’s website.
