According to Lieutenant David B. Doyle of the Morris County Park Police, “It is our goal to educate the public in crime prevention practices while gathering support through community/police partnerships employing programs, such as National Night Out that sends a message to criminals that we act as a team in the fight against crime.” Each year since 2007, the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) recognized the Morris County’s National Night Out event as a National Award Winner. According to Doyle, “The Morris County National Night Out for the past five years has received national recognition because it offers a comprehensive array of participating agencies to educate the public on available community services.”
The most popular program of the evening in addition to all the FREE activities is the FREE Child ID program, an initiative launched in 2000 that registers more than 1,000 children annually. Due to popular demand, there will be two child ID stations this year to accommodate everyone expeditiously.
