The Oak Park Police Department is excited to once again host National Night Out, a community celebration that aims to strengthen partnerships and positive interactions between law enforcement and residents.

National Night Out is a nationwide initiative established in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). The event encourages residents to join forces with local law enforcement agencies to promote crime prevention efforts, neighborhood camaraderie, and the overall safety and well-being of our community. Oak Park hosted a National Night Out for the first time in 2023.

National Night Out will feature bounce houses, music, face painting, food and beverages. Residents can also get an up-close look at a Fire Department engine.
