Matteson police plan summer patrols and park outreach
Matteson police say crime remains steady year round but summer brings more outdoor activity and possible curfew violations. Officers will engage residents more near parks, collaborate with Parks and Recreation to remove graffiti, and meet with Rich Central and Rich South officers to review the school year. The department expects about 1,300 service calls monthly and prepares for Matteson Fest as the village’s largest summer event.
