Halloween is almost here! The Village of Morton Grove Trick-or-Treat hours are 3:30 to 7:00 PM on Saturday, October 31st. Keep these safety tips in mind while planning for the festivities:
🎃Be visible: Wear bright or reflective clothing and carry a flashlight or glow stick.
🎃 Use crosswalks: Cross at intersections, look both ways, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
🎃Stay together: Children should be accompanied by an adult, and younger trick-or-treaters should stay close.
🎃Stick to familiar areas: Visit well-lit homes and only approach houses that are welcoming trick-or-treaters.
🎃Check your treats: Have an adult inspect candy and treats before eating them.
🎃Drive with care: Motorists should slow down, watch for children, and stay alert in residential neighborhoods.

Please don't forget to save your pumpkins for the Pumpkin Smash on Saturday, November 7, at the north end of Harrer Park from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. ...

Water thoroughly, not constantly
Native plants still need water while they’re getting established. Instead of watering a little every day, water thoroughly and less frequently. This encourages roots to grow deeper in the soil and helps plants become more resilient over time.
If you are introducing new plants, check the soil regularly and water when it begins to dry. Established native plants generally need less supplemental watering once their root systems are established.
Visit extension.illinois.edu/rainfall-management for more information. ...

Congratulations to Commander Tony Anderson and Sergeant Gus Fasos on graduating from the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety Executive Management Program!

This intensive three-week program brings together senior command officers and experienced mid-level managers from across the country to examine current law enforcement trends and workshop the critical issues shaping public safety today. Participants focus on areas such as leadership, critical incident command, ethics, media relations, officer recruitment and retention, discipline and accountability, and more.

We’re proud of their ongoing commitment to professional development and leadership. Our sergeants and commanders are the best in the business, and programs like this are one of the ways they stay that way. Completing this training strengthens our department and ultimately benefits the Morton Grove community. ...

We love connecting with our youngest community members and helping them build positive relationships with local law enforcement! ...
