TINLEY PARK, IL — National Night Out Against Crime returns to Tinley Park on August 6, an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.

The Tinley Park Police Department joins law enforcement agencies across the country with the Village's annual National Night Out at Freedom Park, 7835 Timber Dr., from 6 to 9 p.m. National Night Out events are part of a push to strengthen police and community relations.
