You can also do it "app-wide" by setting DATE_FORMAT or DATETIME_FORMAT to your settings.py.

See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#date-format

Try this:

{{ incident|date:"F d Y P" }}

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#date

Edit: No if you want to have at in date you need to write your own date filter.

Look at limelights post.

The Django builtin template filter won't really do this exact formatting for you but a close second using it would be

{{ incident.created_date_time|:"F j Y P" }}

Otherwise you would have to create your own date filter.

@register.filter(name='myDate')
def myDate(value, arg):
    #arg is optional and not needed but you could supply your own formatting if you want.
    dateformatted = value.strftime("%b %d, %Y at %I:%M %p")
    return dateformatted

This requires the incident.created_date_time to be a datetime object.

and then you'd use it like 

{{ incident.created_date_time|myDate }}
