National Night Out is a country-wide event held annually in August. The purpose of which is to increase the public’s understanding of their local police department. Further to foster discussions and relationships between the police and the community they serve. Deerfield Police Department held its first National Night Out in 2019, and it was a great success. Unfortunately, in 2020 and 2021 the department felt it was best not to have the event due to the pandemic. However, Deerfield PD will be holding it again in 2022.

During the event, there are games, food, and law enforcement displays and discussions. Further, it is one of only a few events open to the public that all members of Deerfield PD are gathered in one location to interact with.
