“National Night Out (NNO) is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.” The main goal of NNO is to “enhance 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.” National Night Out is typically held annually on the first Tuesday in August in the evening hours from 6-10pm.
MOPD Background
In 2017 the Mount Olive Township Police Department registered with the NNO organization for the first time and committed to holding its first ever NNO event. The event had a tremendous initial turnout and has become a great success annually. This Police-Community Partnership event has repeated each year since (Except 2020 - COVID-19) and its popularity, positivity and attendance has grown too!
What Makes NNO in Mount Olive So Special?
The community and people in Mount Olive
A priority from day one, the Mount Olive Township Police Department has endeavored to make their NNO event completely FREE to the Mount Olive Township community. We are grateful and understand that this can only be accomplished through the generous support and donations from our community organizations, partnerships, and businesses. Thank you so much for your continued friendship and sponsorship!
NNO in Mount Olive is really, really fun! The atmosphere is electric, and the happiness and pleasure can be readily seen by anyone who attends. Did I mention that everything is FREE – Food, Handouts, Balloons, Bounce Houses, Pony Rides, Reptile Zoo, Music, Hayrides, Games, Dunk Tank, Face Painting, Balloon Rides, Fireworks, and much, much more.
Our police officers and employees are the best among our profession. Friendly, Helpful, Compassionate, Approachable and Professional are just a few ways to describe our people. Start up a conversation with one of them and you will see for yourself!
