Supervisor Calvin Jordan of Rich Township, along with the Rich Township Village Board and constitutional officers, collaborated to organize the highly successful “National Night Out” event. Drawing the participation of over 1000 individuals from the Village of Olympia Fields, this event served as a united endeavor to foster peace and strengthen the bonds between the community and the local police force.
In this year’s edition, the Rich Township team assumed a prominent role by skillfully preparing delectable food for both the Olympia Fields Police Department and the Village residents. Supervisor Jordan notably contributed to the culinary aspect as well, actively flipping hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill.
“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.”
