National Night Out, held on the first Tuesday of August in communities across the country each year, brings together members of law enforcement and public safety to promote and support police-community relationships. Whether on stoops or at festivals, it shows that neighbors stand together against crime.

But several events in New Jersey have been canceled due to expected rainy weather and possible flooding.
