“This year’s event will once again feature decorated car trunks, treats and entertainment. The Public Safety sponsored event is an opportunity for the ‘Trunk or Treaters’ to be able to visit the police and fire station in a positive way, enhancing the relationship between police, fire and the community, while also being in a well-lit and secure area.”

Commissioner Alphonse Petracco said the first concern during the Halloween holiday is the “safety and well-being” of young Nutley residents.

“It’s easier to maintain close supervision of the little ghosts and goblins when they go from trunk to trunk for their treats,” Petracco said.
