The Abington Township Police Department’s 25th annual pre-Night Out Block Party on Monday, August 4 was featured today in a segment by NBC10.

“It’s not just about Abington, it’s about the eastern part of the county,” Lt. Kevin Magee said. “It’s an opportunity for people to get exposed to these services if they’re in need, or just to know about them.”
