The Saugerties Police Department will be participating in National Night Out—a national community-building campaign promoting police-community partnerships—for the first time this coming Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Cow Flop on Main Street in the Village of Saugerties.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live, and is designed to strengthen relationships between law enforcement, first responders, and the neighbors they serve. 

This year's event will feature activities, giveaways, police officer meet-and-greets, and vehicle, drone, and K9 demonstrations, providing residents with an opportunity to meet members of local law enforcement in an informal setting. We are proud to partner with the First Responders Children’s Foundation and CSX, who have provided free toys as giveaways for those in attendance. Toys will be limited to one per child on a first-come, first-served basis.
