Butler Twp police Sgt Bob Murphy lets Dominic Shakely,11, talk on the police radio during the annual National Night Out on Aspen Road in the Meadowwood neighborhood in Butler Twp. in 2018.

Some cops will hit the streets Tuesday to connect with their beats.

“National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie,” according to the NATW Inc. website.

Butler and Cranberry townships plan to participate again this year.

Butler Township police officers and firefighters will host the public at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Butler Township Volunteer Fire Department Station, 121 Sparks Ave., Meridian. Township commissioners also will be there.

Cranberry Township will have a National Night Out from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in the parking lot of Target, Route 228, Cranberry Township, including a parade that starts at 6:30 p.m.

The parade features Cranberry and other local fire, police and EMS units.
