Chief Conway lauds neighborhood roll calls, announces July 22 session and National Night Out plans
Summary
At a Bartlett neighborhood roll call, Chief Conway said the police department is expanding neighborhood roll calls so residents can meet officers. He announced the next roll call is July 22 at Deer Park and promoted the National Night Out Picnic in the Park on Aug. 4 at 5 p.m.
Chief Conway said the Bartlett Police Department launched neighborhood roll calls to boost community engagement and called the event a successful kickoff.
"Bartlett is known for its community engagement and its representation within this community from this police department," Chief Conway said, describing a dedicated effort to hold neighborhood roll calls so residents "can come and meet us and hear about the initiatives we have." He added, "I thought this was a great kickoff event."
The department plans three more neighborhood roll calls leading up to National Night Out. Chief Conway announced the next roll call is scheduled for July 22 at Deer Park and asked residents to save the date for the National Night Out Picnic in the Park on Aug. 4 at 5:00 p.m. He said schedule details are posted on the department's social media channels and on Bartlett Connect.
During the session S2 (Moderator) noted that earlier roll calls were canceled because of weather and asked Chief Conway for his thoughts on community interaction; Chief Conway thanked the volunteers and vendors, specifically "Moe Moe Euros," for providing food and thanked attendees for coming to learn about the department.
The roll call functioned as an outreach event rather than a formal meeting and concluded with organizers inviting the community to the next neighborhood roll call and to National Night Out. No formal actions or votes were recorded.
