National Night Out is Coming to Northside Park
OCEAN CITY, MD – (July 29, 2024): The Ocean City Police Department will host National Night Out on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. We will be celebrating at Northside Park on their West Lagoon Field.
This year is shaping up to be our biggest event. We will be highlighting various first responder agencies that keep our town safe. Joining us at the event will be the Ocean City Fire Department, Ocean City Fire Marshal Office, Ocean City Emergency Services, Ocean City Beach Patrol, Ocean City Police Department’s Quick Response Team, Forensic Services Unit, along with our Mounted and K-9 Units, and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. This is a unique opportunity to interact with these brave individuals who work tirelessly to keep our community safe.
This year, we invited a few more friends to the party. In addition to first responders, we will have Ocean City Tourism, Ocean City Recreation and Parks, Atlantic General Hospital, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), ADT, and 7/11. You can beat the heat by stopping by Kona Ice for a sweet treat.
We saved the best for last. Chief Ross Buzzuro will get in the dunk tank to help raise funds for the Ocean City Police Morale Committee. The Morale Committee works to boost morale within the department to supplement projects around the department outside of the budget, such as new gym equipment and holiday gifts for our employees or assistance during times of need. Can you dunk the Chief? You can get your chance with a donation of $2 for three throws.
Bring a chair to hang out and chat with fellow community members, visitors, and first responders. You will learn about employment opportunities from law enforcement agencies in the area and the Citizens Police Academy and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. There will also be exciting demonstrations from the bomb squad, mounted, and K-9 units. Have you ever seen an ambulance, fire truck, or police command truck up close? You will get a chance to explore them then. It’s going to be a fun and engaging evening for everyone!
Date: Tuesday, August 6, 2024
Time: 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Location: Northside Park- West Lagoon Field 200 125th St, Ocean City, MD 21842
