Police and other law enforcement agencies passed out candy, with their vehicles on display. It was fun for the whole family.
"It’s a chance to see us in a different light and bridge that gap between the community and the police department," said Cox.
The first year of this event was about a third of the size. Last year, it was a drive-through because of COVID. This year, it was back where families could interact with their neighbors and community organizations. "We love anything with kiddos, we serve kids, we actively license families to foster and adopt kiddos, the foster system is full of them, so any reason to get involved with the kids especially when candy is involved, we’re here, we’re here for a good time," said Nikki Castro, with Arrow Child & Family Ministries.
The goal of the event was for kids to be able to trick or treat safely. Cox says if you plan on trick or treating in your neighborhood this weekend or on Monday… "Those kids are excited, they’re running house to house, the last thing you want to do is have an accident with one of them," he said.Carry a flashlight or glow stickAll the news you need to know, every day
