“The Springfield Police Department needs neighbors working together and with our officers in order to address crime and quality of life issues in our fine city. By working together, we have impacted both crime and quality of life issues, making our city safer and a better place to live, work or operate a business. Please help us celebrate and strengthen our community relationships by attending your local National Night Out event,” said Police Commissioner John Barbieri.
