NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AUGUST 3rd
The Dover Police Department will once again bring the National Night Out to the Dover community on Tuesday, August 3rd from 6-8pm. The event brings the Dover Police Department, along with several emergency agencies and military personnel to one place where the public can bring their families to meet and greet local heroes and see the equipment used in their jobs while forming a positive relationship with the community. In addition to appearances and demonstrations by these agencies, Night Out will feature fun activities for all ages along with food and beverages for all while supplies last.
The venue for the event has been moved to the Dover High School.
This is the first National Night Out event since 2019. The 2020 event was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The National Night Out provides a variety of agencies with an opportunity to show our citizens what services they provide, the vehicles and equipment they use, and a chance to interact with personnel in a relaxed atmosphere.
The Dover Police Department requests that political candidates/officials do NOT campaign, distribute handbills, or other materials at this event.
If you would like more information or wish to register your agency/organization to set up a display at the event, please e-mail: contact@doverpolice.org
