Cops To Host Trunk-Or-Treat In Douglas Co.

DOUGLASVILLE, GA — Local authorities are joining forces to bring Douglas County a trunk-or-treat next month, they announced Monday.

The Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Douglasville Police will sponsor the free event from 3-7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at the Douglas County Transportation Center, located at 8800 Dorris Road. The trunk-or-treat will be held as weather permits, organizers say.

"Halloween is better when everyone gets home safe," the sheriff's office wrote in a Facebook post.

Trunks will be decorated, and free candy will be available at the gathering. Authorities say they encourage the use of costumes.

"Deputies and officers will be right there handing out treats alongside you. Bring the whole family and let us handle the spooky part," authorities said.
