Community Roll Call Wednesday

The Deerfield Police Department invites residents to attend the first Community Roll Call at 7 p.m. at Jaycee Park Wednesday, June 29.

At the start of each tour of duty, police officers report for a roll call briefing. This meeting is held to share information from one shift to the next and consists of an overview of emerging trends and calls for service from the last 24 hours. These may include traffic issues and concerns or crime trends. Assignments and areas of patrol are also discussed.

Residents and families are encouraged to attend their Community Roll Call to learn important crime prevention information, safety tips, and meet the patrol officers who serve their community. In addition, we encourage our residents to discuss local issues and matters of concern with officers. Following the presentation by officers, there will be an opportunity for residents to ask questions. Encourage you neighbors to attend as well!

Family Days - It's a Blast!

Deerfield Family Days will kick off another two days of fun July 3rd and 4th. Join family and friends for a holiday filled with fun and entertainment!

The spectacular fireworks show will be held Sunday, July 3rd, at Brickyards Park with live entertainment and kids’ activities. The gates will open at 5 p.m. and food and drink concessions will be available for purchase.

On Monday, July 4th, head on over to the festivities at Jewett Park including breakfast in the park, dog show, the flower show and a variety of games. The parade starts at noon on Monday and will travel from Deerspring Pool, west to Waukegan Road, north to Hazel and end at Jewett Park.

This year’s Parade Marshals are Mayor Emeritus Harriet Rosenthal and the League of Women Voters of Deerfield/Lincolnshire. Rosenthal served 12 years as Mayor and 24 years as a Village Trustee. The League of Women Voters was founded in Chicago on February 14, 1920. Since then, the League has worked to register voters, sponsor candidate forums, provide non-partisan election materials about candidates, and study issues on the local, state and national levels in order to create a better-informed electorate.
