The event is an excellent opportunity to unite police and residents positively under favorable circumstances.

Stops in Aurora Township will include at Oakland and Jackson streets from 6:30 to 7 p.m., State Street and Melrose Avenue from 7 to 7:30 p.m., and at Amber and Park drives from 7:30 to 8 p.m.
