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.
National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. Furthermore, it provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances.
The 2022 National Night Out will be in-person at Bennett Hall at Abrams Park. There will be a free, hot dog dinner, Ridgefield Police Officers and squad cars on site, Ridgefield Neighbors on Watch volunteers and information, classic car show, Curly the Camel, vendor booths from local community partners and businesses, an orienteering course, music, and more! We hope to see you there.
