On August 6th, 2013, more than 15,000 communities nationwide gathered to celebrate the 30th annual National Night Out (NNO) event. There were many successful events across the country but several Target teams and police agencies went above and beyond to bring neighborhoods together. Target Corporation selected our National Night Out event for the 2013 Excellence Award. This award recognizes the top ten National Night Out events hosted by Target teams and law enforcement agencies across the country, as a result of this recognition the Police Department received a grant of $1,000.00 dollars which will be used to help support next year’s NNO event.
We are fortunate and share this honor with our DeKalb Fire Department, NIU Police Department, DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, and a host of other agencies across our community that support this event. Our police officers, support staff, fire fighters, and other public servants as well as our local Target Corporation team members worked hard to make this a community wide event which was attended by hundreds last summer. Those who attended got to have some “picnic” food, participate in several educational and fun events, and some lucky children won prizes from bicycle accessories, toys and bicycles with the support of Target and the DeKalb Police Benevolent and Protective Association. Our thanks go out to our community, Target of DeKalb, Target Corporation, and all of our public safety personnel who supported this event.
