Neighborhoods throughout Barrington are invited to join over 38 million people in 16,000-plus communities from all across the country for National Night Out. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.
From 5:30 to 8:30 PM on Thursday, Aug. 8, at the intersection of Cook and Station streets in Barrington, neighbors throughout Barrington are asked to lock their doors, turn on their front porch lights and spend the evening outside with neighbors and law enforcement.
Barrington’s National Night Out is an annual tradition hosted by the Barrington Police Department that includes family-friendly activities including games, face painting, balloon art, and kids’ wooden workshop kits; free bike helmets and bike safety checks; a K9 demonstration; a distracted driving simulation, and the opportunity for kids to explore (and climb in and on) public safety vehicles; and much more. Always popular are the Trackless Train Rides on “Little Obie.”
In addition, Pizza Factory, Sergio’s, Rosati’s, & Primo Pizza have generously donated food for the evening — everyone eats for free. For information, please contact Jennifer Wisniewski at (847) 304-3303 or policeadmin@barrington-il.gov.
