Hundreds Celebrate National Night Out in Montgomery County (VIDEO & PHOTOS)

Hundreds of residents celebrated National Night Out with police officers around Montgomery County on August 2nd.

Police Spokesperson Lucille Baur said County Executive Ike Leggett, Police Chief Tom Manger and Fire Chief Scott Goldstein traveled to five different communities as part of a caravan on Tuesday night.

The county officials began their community visits in Olney, which Baur said had huge crowds, as always. In Saybrooke, she said, community members shared messages of support on poster boards for both the county and city of Gaithersburg police.

According to Baur, community members who participate at local National Night Out events are supportive of the police and the work officers do to keep our local communities safe.
