posted on 8/4/2025

The Dover Police Department will host its annual National Night Out event on Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 4 to 7 p.m. at police headquarters, 46 Chestnut St. The event is free and open to the public.

National Night Out is a nationwide initiative that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood safety. The event offers residents an opportunity to meet officers, tour the station, and learn about public safety efforts in a casual, family-friendly setting.

Visitors can explore police vehicles and equipment, including a cruiser, motorcycle, crime scene vehicle, and tactical rescue vehicle. Officers, including the department’s K-9 unit, will be on hand to interact with the public.

Other city departments and community organizations will provide information on health, wellness, drug prevention, recovery resources, violence prevention, and mental health services. The Loyal Order of Moose Lodge 443 will offer free burgers and hot dogs outside the station.

“National Night Out gives our officers and residents a chance to connect in a relaxed environment, building the trust and collaboration that help solve community problems,” said Police Chief William M. Breault.
