National Night Out

National Night Out was observed at Pecot Park in Franklin Tuesday night, with local law enforcement agencies, public officials and entertainment guests to foster relationships between police and the community. The organizational umbrella of National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live, according to its website. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. It provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. Millions of neighbors take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all fifty states, U.S. territories and military bases.
