Dover Police Chief William M. Breault is pleased to announce that the Dover Police Department will be participating in National Night Out on Tuesday, August 1, 2023. The event will take place at the police station located at 46 Chestnut Street from 4:00pm to 7:00pm and is free to the public. National Night Out is a time for community members to meet with police officers, discuss issues, learn what the police do, and unite with the common goal of crime prevention and safety.

The public will be able to take tours of the station and see a variety of displays around the
building including some of the specialized equipment and vehicles that the police use. These will include a police cruiser, a police motorcycle, the crime scene vehicle, and the tactical rescue vehicle. Several officers, including our K9 officer, will be at the event and interacting with the public.

“The Dover Police Department recognizes the importance of getting to know the members of our community and the value of positive police-community partnerships. National Night Out is an excellent opportunity for police officers and community members to meet and interact. This goes a long way toward solving community problems together.” said Chief Breault.

There will also be community organizations on hand to provide literature and other information related to health, safety, and wellness. Information on drug prevention, treatment and recovery resources, violence prevention, and local mental health resources will be available to the public through various booths at the event. The Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 443 will be outside the station cooking burgers and hot dogs free for the public.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live. Dover’s National Night Out is an opportunity for citizens to meet and engage with their first responders.
