Safety Town Trick or Treat
Safety Town's Annual Trick or Treat will be held Saturday, October 25th from 11a - 3p. This event offers a great opportunity for children ages 2-10 to enjoy the fun & friendship of trick or treating in a safe environment. A short lesson will be taught by the Naperville Police Department.

All children who attend should be dressed in Halloween costumes and ready to have a great time. The cost is $1 per child, plus a non-perishable food donation for Loaves and Fishes food pantry in Naperville.

Our Summer Program
The largest program at Safety Town is the Summer Program. During the Safety Town Summer Program, five & six year olds attend a week long program taught by the Naperville Police and Fire Departments, I-Search, Operation Lifesaver, and other community groups in addition to the NJWC volunteers. The program introduces pedestrian, bike, fire, railroad, bus, animal, water, and personal safety. During the week, the children have the opportunity to make real-time 911 calls, participate in a fire evacuation drill and practice pedestrian safety and traffic hand signals as they ride special Safety Town vehicles on the streets of Safety Town. Each summer over 1,700 children graduate from the Safety Town Summer Program.

A bit of history...
In 1978, the Naperville Junior Woman’s Club (NJWC) introduced Naperville to a nationwide program called Safety Town. Thereafter, NJWC coordinated, supervised, and staffed this beneficial program at temporary locations. In 1993, the Naperville Safety Town Commission was formed to provide a permanent location for Safety Town programs. The Safety Town Commission, made up of members of NJWC and other community leaders, brought Naperville together to build Safety Town. Located at the corner of River and Aurora Roads, Safety Town includes a classroom building and a kid-sized town complete with buildings, streets, a fire safety house, railroad crossing and traffic signs and signals. The Safety Town facility was opened in June of 1996.

Safety Town is used throughout the year for various safety and health related programs tailored to different age groups. These programs include: Scouts Play It Safe, Scouts First Aid, Baby-sitting Clinics, CPR, Trick or Treat at Safety Town, Fingerprinting, Keeping Yourself Safe, WDSRA Safety Town Sessions and Safety Town Mini Sessions. The programs offered and when varies from year to year. Check this site for details on what is available and when. In addition, new programs are in the developmental stage.

"Our Safety Town experience was fantastic. My daughter learned so much and had a great time. I was so excited for her to be there, especially when I saw the fantastic organization and committment the Junior's brought to the entire experience. What a great resource for Naperville!" - Laura Anderson

"It has been my pleasure to work with members of NWJC for many years at Safety Town. They efficiently handle the enrollment of thousands of children every year in this popular program. For six weeks every summer, the police department partners with NJWC to provide safety training for young children. It takes volunteers many hours to coordinate and implement this program. Safety Town is a true service to our community. All of us at the Naperville Police Department appreciate the work of the Napervile Junior Woman's Club." - Marcia Schild, Crime Prevention Specialist (Community Education/Crime Prevention Unit Naperville Police Dept.)
