The Bristol Police Department is hosting a special “Trunk or Treat” Halloween event for families on Saturday, Oct. 31, from 4 to 7 p.m. Held in conjunction with the Bristol Prevention Coalition, this socially distanced event allows a safe alternative to door-to-door trick-or-treating. 

The outdoor event will include a few Halloween displays set up outside the Bristol Police Station. Chief Lynch and his wife, along with members of the department, including Officer Medeiros with his partner K-9 Brody, and officers from the Bristol Police Motorcycle Unit, with members of the Bristol Prevention Coalition, will be lining up prearranged, individual grab-and-go bags of candy.

The Department’s Mobile Command vehicle will also be on display for a “quick peek inside.” There will be a drive-thru Trick or Treat option in the visitors lot of the Police Station for those who wish to participate and remain in their vehicle.
