Glen Cove prides itself on being a “Community United Against Crime.” To honor that commitment to the safety of our residents, the Glen Cove Police Department is hosting its Annual National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 1 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The event will take place in downtown Glen Cove on Bridge Street in front of the Glen Cove Police Department. Mayor Pam Panzenbeck and Police Chief William Whitton invite all residents to participate in this fun and educational event to support the safety of our community.

Local government officials, police officers, first responders, and community leaders are all eager to participate in this event. “National Night Out” is an outstanding program that provides our residents with an opportunity to build relationships with Glen Cove’s law enforcement officers and learn about the many programs and services offered by the City and community groups.

This is a most important event the Glen Cove Police Department and Police Benevolent Association support each year as it underscores the critical relationship of our police officers with the Glen Cove community. Safety and neighborhood unity all stem from the strength of a strong relationship between the police department and the community they serve and protect.

The event is presented by the City of Glen Cove, Glen Cove Police Department, PBA, Youth Bureau, Volunteer Fire Department, EMS, The Housing Authority, the Downtown B.I.D., and local businesses and organizations.

With community support and participation, National Night Out is an outstanding way to increase awareness against crime, encourage drug prevention, support local anti-crime efforts, and further solidify the already strong ties between the Glen Cove community and its hardworking Police Department.
