There will be visits from police, including McGruff the Crime Dog, and the fire department. We’ll be showing off our vehicles, taking pictures, and interacting with the residents and kids.
“After all of the challenges of the pandemic over the last year or so, we are excited to get back to community policing, and continue building relationships with our residents again,” said Chief of Police David Fisher.

From 5 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, August 3rd, residents in neighborhoods throughout North Aurora and across the nation are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and police.
