Dozens of events were held in Chicago and the suburbs Tuesday for National Night Out 2025. National Night Out gives the community a chance the know their first responders, and officers can meet the neighborhoods they're sworn to protect and serve. In Merrionette Park, hundreds gathered outside the village's police station, all with a purpose.

National Night Out is all about fostering relationships between the community and the police, but on Tuesday night, New York City's mayoral candidates also looked to strengthen their partnerships with law enforcement and the community.
