DUNMORE — A parade of police officers, firefighters, and other emergency responders marched through Dunmore Monday evening as part of its annual National Night Out Parade.

Cheerleaders, pee wee football teams, and marching bands also marched through the drizzle.

People lined the parade route to cheer and support the marchers.

The borough has been holding this event for more than a decade.

This year, many people said they braved the rain to show their support for law enforcement in the wake of recent police killings in U.S. cities this summer.

“It’s nice just to show them how much they’re appreciated and we support our local law enforcement. It’s nice to come out and let them know we’re behind them,” said Danny Robinson of Dunmore.

Dunmore officials say the event helps them make the community aware of police programs like drug prevention, neighborhood watch, and other anti-crime efforts.
