Dozens of events were held in Chicago and the suburbs Tuesday for National Night Out 2025. National Night Out gives the community a chance the know their first responders, and officers can meet the neighborhoods they're sworn to protect and serve. In Merrionette Park, hundreds gathered outside the village's police station, all with a purpose.

Cities throughout our region hosted the National Night Out, an event that is dedicated to strengthening the bonds between a community and its police department.
