## About

The Providence Police Department and its community partners hold their sixth annual Trunk or Treat on Halloween evening in the parking garage across from the Public Safety Complex downtown. Decorated vehicles line the garage and hand out candy, with music, games and food for families. Because it is indoors in a covered garage, it is a good option for young trick-or-treaters if the weather turns, and a chance for children to meet officers in a relaxed setting. Come in costume; admission and candy are free.
