National Night Out "is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live," according to organizers of the nationwide event.

A self-defense seminar will take place, organizers said.

In addition to two jump houses, a balloon artist will be on hand and a family swim will take place, organizers said.

The Chicago Police Department Canine Unit, Mounted Unit and crime lab — as well as the department's helicopter — have been invited to attend the event co-sponsored by the Norwood Park Chamber of Commerce, organizers said.
