RAHWAY, NJ — The Rahway Police Department, Mayor Raymond A. Giacobbe, and the Rahway City Council are proud to present National Night Out 2024. This year’s event will be held on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, from 4-8 p.m. at the Rahway Train Station Plaza. This event is the product of a dynamic partnership between the City of Rahway, the Rahway Police Department, and various local partners seeking to strengthen community ties and promote public safety.
“National Night Out is an event we look forward to each year,” said Chief Law Enforcement Officer Captain Shawn Ganley. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for our officers to connect with the community members we serve and to show our commitment to making Rahway a safer place."
National Night Out is a nationwide community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. The goal is to make neighborhoods safer and more caring places to live, work, and visit. This year marks another opportunity for residents of Rahway to come together, meet local law enforcement, and enjoy an evening of fun and education.
National Night Out 2024 will feature various family-friendly activities including face painting, balloon artists, a dunk tank, and various games for children. Numerous emergency vehicles will be on display, including police cars, Department of Public Works trucks, fire engines, and ambulances for kids to "touch-a-truck."
The event will also feature a variety of refreshments, live music from the event’s DJ, a police defensive tactics exhibition, and a women’s self-defense clinic.
Representatives from various local agencies, including the Union County Prosecutor's Office, NJ Department of Corrections, NJ Transit Police Department, Rahway Department of Public Works, Prevention Links, Rahway CERT Team, Rahway Social Justice Commission, Rahway Health Department, and Rahway Recreation Center, will be in attendance to support the Rahway community.
As part of the Rahway Police Department’s ongoing commitment to youth safety, the Community Assistance Team will be distributing free bicycle helmets to children during the event to encourage the use of helmets and promote safe riding practices among our young residents.
"We are thrilled by the recent addition of the Community Assistance Team to the Rahway Police Department, as this has significantly enhanced our ability to serve and support our residents,” said Police Director Nicholas Breiner. “This team's efforts in organizing the helmet drive and other community outreach programs demonstrate our commitment to proactive policing and community safety.”
All residents are invited to join the Rahway Police Department, the City of Rahway, and various local partners for an evening dedicated to unity, community, safety, and fun.
