The NATO Summit is planned for the City of Chicago from May 19-21, 2012. It is unknown at this time the impathat the summit will have on northwest suburbs. It is probable that hotels and other residential sites in the down

town Chicago area will experience full occupancy. This means that surrounding communities may be used for thehotel/dining needs. We are also expecting international media.

Please be assured that the North Suburban Police and Fire Departments are well aware of the coming event andhave been involved in planning for it during the last 7 months. Our public safety officials have been planning on to best respond to many contingencies and ensure that our communities continue to have the same level of secuand protective services that they have come to expect.

However, we do expect the publics help, as you are also the eyes and ears of our community. You have the oppnity to make observations of potential problems or suspicious activity. We encourage you to notify the Niles PolDepartment if you come upon anything of a suspicious nature. Call 911 immediately.

Peaceful protest is a valued right and protected by the First Amendment, however there may be those that seekincite violence or put out a call for unlawful activity. It is imperative that our Police Department is made aware opotential areas of conflict and if certain symbolism is showing up in the Village. One of the most basic indicators extremist groups are making an appearance in a city or town is the presence of graffiti or flyers, advocating direactions (i.e. criminal activity) against government, business or other societal institutions.

Their inclusion in this document is not intended to directly or indirectly associate the protected activity with crimity or infer that such protected activity itself violates the law or presents a threat to national security. However,based on intelligence and historical observation, it is possible the protected activity could invite a violent or otheincendiary reaction to stop the protected activity from occurring. The information that has been provided in this letin is included for the limited purpose of providing examples of indicators that should be reported to the Police partment immediately.
