Did you ever say, “Where’s a cop when you need one?” Well, here on LBI we’re pretty lucky because there’s usually one nearby.

On Aug. 1 the Long Beach Township local PBA sponsored National Night Out and invited all LBI residents and guests to join them at Bayview Park. They, and the LBT lifeguards, had a full complement of their equipment and staff to highlight their involvement in their community. National Night Out is always the first Tuesday in August.
