TOWNSEND — The Townsend Police Department is inviting the community to National Night Out — an evening of fun, food, and plenty of opportunities to connect with police and fellow community members.

On Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 5 to 7 p.m., Townsend Police will hold National Night Out at North Middlesex Regional High School. 

National Night Out is a nationwide effort to build stronger relationships between police and community members. It provides a chance to meet officers while participating in games and enjoying a bit to eat. 

“We are a stronger and more capable department when we work to build and maintain relationships and trust within our community,” said Chief James Sartell. “Please join us on Tuesday night for some games, conversations, and a chance to come together as a community.”

This year, National Night Out in Townend will include a chance to explore the UMass Memorial Hospital LifeFlight helicopter, vehicles from Townsend Police and the Middlesex Sheriff’s Office, and to meet the Nashua Police Bomb Squad, K9 Ruby, and other Townsend Police officers. 

There will also be informational booths and treats from LUK, Inc., the COIN Collaborative, Northeast Houndsmen, the DOC Comfort Dog Program, Hannaford and Starbucks. 

Inflatable games and rides for kids will be available from Crystal Entertainment, Inc., as will face painting by The Central Brush Art Studio, cars from R/C Excitement, Inc., music, and some animals brought by the 4H Club. 

Anyone with questions should contact Jess Demeo by emailing: jdemeo@townsendpd.org.
