MARGATE, Florida – Sailors attached to Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) Miami met with locals during the annual National Night Out Against Crime held at the Margate Sports Complex, August 6, 2024.
This year’s National Night Out Against Crime was hosted by the Margate Police Department and is part of a yearly community-building engagement that takes place in communities across the country. Federal and local law enforcement, military service members, and vendors from the area were on site to engage with more than 3,000 people at this free, family-friendly event.
“It’s a great way to bridge the gap between the community and all of our first responders,” said City of Margate Police Department Community Engagement Officer Diana Maglocco, “It’s also an awesome opportunity, for even myself, to be able to have face-to-face interaction with military and veterans. You may hear about them and see them in the news, but you never really get to sit down and have a conversation with them, so this is that chance to. Thank you so much to our military for coming out to this event tonight.”
Quartermaster 2nd Class Delvonte Traylor, who recruits future Sailors out of the Navy Recruiting Station Margate location, coordinated his fellow shipmates’ participation in the event. Traylor describes the importance of engagements like this.
“After reaching out to folks from the Margate Police Department they came to the office and invited us to participate this year,” said Traylor. “Of course we were happy to be a part of this. It’s a great way to let our neighbors here in Margate get to know us and what we do as well as a chance to inform them about our office location and maybe even set up future discussions.”
Traylor said he wants the citizens to know America's Navy is their Navy and to know there are open lines of communication.
“It’s all about Navy awareness,” said Traylor. “We want to make sure our fellow citizens know we are here for them and available to answer any questions they may have about the Navy and about our experiences.”
