Westborough PD Celebrate Halloween With Safe Trick-or-Treating

WESTBOROUGH, MA — Westborough police changed up Halloween traditions and brought the candy to trick-or-treaters this year.

Police were posted at six different locations throughout town to give out candy and take pictures with trick-or-treaters. The police cruisers were decorated and officers were dressed in festive costumes, armed with sanitized candy bags for each trick-or-treater. The goal was to give kids a safe and healthy alternative to trick-or-treating this year.

Several officers got creative with their own costumes, dressing as peanut butter and jelly or a box of donuts.

The event also included little photo shoots for each child in costume with the officers and a contest judging the best costume. The winner of the best costume and photo will get a $25 gift certificate to the Sugar Shack
