Neighborhoods throughout Naperville will join communities across the U.S. in participating in the 25th annual National Night Out on Tuesday, Aug. 3, from 5 to 8 p.m.
This is an opportunity to get together with your neighbors to strengthen your community and to promote positive police-community partnerships.
Members of the Naperville police, fire, park district police, public works, animal control, electric and water utility departments will visit many of the registered events as time and circumstances permit. Registration is currently closed.
National Night Out is commonly called "America's Night Out Against Crime." This nationwide event is designed to heighten drug prevention and crime awareness, generate support and participation in local anti-crime efforts, and strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community partnerships. These events were unfortunately canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but in 2019, nearly 50 Naperville neighborhoods participated.
