Join the DeKalb County Sheriff and the DeKalb and Sycamore police and fire departments in celebrating the 30th annual National Night Out Against Crime. National Night Out will be celebrated locally this Tuesday, August 6th from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Target parking lot. The event is designed to heighten crime- and drug-prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
This event is held annually and the police departments will be offering a child safety seat checkups. They will have certified child safety seat technicians, including police officers, on hand to answer questions, inspect seats, and assist motorists with proper safety seat installation in their vehicles. Also attending will be the DeKalb Fire Department and other local law enforcement agencies. Bring the kids out and meet fire fighters, paramedics, 911 operators, police officers, sheriff’s deputies and more! Kids can also learn about bicycle safety, how to make 911 calls, and what they should do when they see fire or smoke.
