National Night Out is a nationwide event that encourages citizens to participate in the prevention of crime.  To substantially reduce crime, prevention is the key, as it can prohibit an offender from attempting a criminal act. The Campton Hills Police Department has focused on crime prevention as a primary service we provide.  We have contacted many residents about open garage doors after dark and have provided thousands of vacation checks.

At our National Night Out event, I am pleased to announce that we will provide Child ID's to those who wish to participate.  The Child ID system involves CHPD taking a photo of your child and a thumb print and then providing the parent with the identification card.  If the child is reported missing, the parent can provide the card to the responding officer with important information.  In addition, we will have CHPD squad cars available for residents to inspect and sit in. The Campton Hills Police have invited the Kane County Forest Preserve's Mounted Rangers and their horses. The Rangers serve an important purpose in the searching of remote areas that prove difficult on foot. Forest Preserve officers will also be staging a bicycle safety course for children to participate in.  Additionally, the Midwest K-9 Rescue Services will be on hand with several of their rescue dogs. There will also be free food and many other activities at the event.

We again will be selling items for Special Olympics.  The Kane County Chiefs of Police strongly participate in this fundraising.  We will be selling Harley Davidson raffle tickets at $10.00 each, T-Shirts at $15.00, hats for $10.00, and pins for $5.00.  We have all these for sale at CHPD and are available anytime.

Stop by and meet your Campton Hills Police Dept. officers.
