Middletown Township and Red Bank Borough police departments were two of many across the county that held National Night Out events Tuesday, Aug. 6. The initiative promotes positive community relations between police officers and the residents they serve.
In Red Bank, officers grilled up tasty food for residents while a medevac helicopter landed on a nearby baseball field for visitors to check out. In Middletown, police showed off some of the robots they use for scouting areas and finding criminals while the fire department let kids try on the equipment they wear each time they go out on a call.
