The Skokie Police Department’s Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit hosts the 4th Annual National Night Out Campaign on Tuesday, August 4 from 6 to 9 p.m., at Oakton Park, 4701 Oakton Street.

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods a safer, better place to live.

The National Night Out campaign complements the Skokie Police Department’s “COPS” Community Outreach Police Substation program by providing Skokie residents with a unique opportunity to meet police officers. Tours of the COPS vehicle will be available. Meet McGruff the Crime Dog, the Skokie Explorers, play games and win prizes!
