It was also the first time the event has been held in the Town Square, across from The Suffolk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who attended the family-friendly event enjoyed a free barbecue and ice cream, courtesy of Suffolk Federal Credit Union. Riverhead police officers took turns manning \u2014 and splashing in \u2014 the dunk tank, and other games like axe-throwing were a big hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Riverhead\u2019s 42nd annual National Night Out fills Town Square\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IBIzTG9QAsM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There was also plenty of cool police equipment to get up close to \u2014 including police motorcycles, bikes, ATVs and  a police boat \u2014 as well as Command Post, SWAT and dive equipment to see. In addition to drone demonstrations, K-9 officers Loki and Onyx showed off their skills with the help of their handlers, officers John Morris and Chris Burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, it would not be a Riverhead National Night Out without a visit from McGruff the Crime Dog, who gave out many high fives and hugs during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I say this all the time, and I mean it, and I truly believe that we have the best police department in Suffolk County and probably on Long Island,&#8221; said Riverhead Town Supervisor Tim Hubbard. &#8220;They&#8217;re dedicated, they have many family members here today, they&#8217;re local, their kids go to school with everybody&#8217;s kids. It&#8217;s a real nice community police department \u2014 under the leadership of Chief [Ed] Frost, we&#8217;ve really moved forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out Ana Borruto&#8217;s photos below
