Delmar Police Department Sergeant Kevin McCahill, was asked what does celebrating Blue Night mean to him. “Our community has been so supportive of us with every tragedy we’ve had recently. This community has backed us non-stop. We are so glad we can actually have an event that’s free so we can give back to them,” he said.
