OPD Welcomes 1,400+ to Annual Trunk or Treat Event
The Oakland Police Department (OPD) hosted our sixth annual OPD Trunk or Treat event as part of our commitment to our community through "OPD Acts of Kindness." This year's Trunk or Treat, held on October 31st at Verdese Carter Park in East Oakland, was one of our most successful Trunk or Treats to date, with more than 1,400 children and families joining us for a safe, festive family-friendly Halloween event.
Events like these provide our community members with a chance to engage with officers and experience the positive impact we strive to bring to our Oakland residents.
The success of this event would not have been possible without the generous contributions of more than 20 community partners, who played an essential role in creating a vibrant Halloween experience for all attending families. Their involvement helped to bring joy to hundreds of young trick-or-treaters and showcased the power of community collaboration.
OPD extends our heartfelt gratitude to all sponsors whose support made this event possible. Your contributions are invaluable, and we appreciate your partnership in making Oakland a better, safer place for everyone.
OPD remains dedicated to supporting and uplifting Oakland through community engagement and looks forward to continuing the Trunk or Treat tradition in the years ahead.
