(Olympia Fields, IL) Rich Township Supervisor Calvin Jordan and the Rich Township Village Board and constitutional officers co-coordinated the extremely popular “National Night Out" event. Over 1000 people participated within the Village of Olympia Fields in a mass effort to promote peace and enhanced relationships between the community and the local police.
This year the Rich Township team took the lead by grilling delicious foods for the Olympia Fields Police Department and the Village residents. Supervisor Jordan gave a mighty big assist on the grill by flipping hamburgers and hotdogs.
“National night out is about building community partnership with law enforcement. We appreciate all of our first responders who risk their lives to keep us safe on a daily basis. I’m grateful for the willingness of the various police departments to engage with residents from every walk of life. The southland will continue to enhance, strengthen, and encourage stronger bonds with our heroes who wear the blue.” says Supervisor Jordan.
Rich Township Highway Commissioner Dennis White adds, “The men and women of the blue uniform are the frontline and backbone of all of our respective communities. This year’s event truly put a spotlight on how far we’ve come as a region in building bridges and coalescing with our law enforcement partners. They are true heroes in the eyes of the southland.”
