Concord Police Department headquarters will swap patrol business for pumpkins and candy on Oct. 24, when the department hosts its fifth annual Trunk or Treat from 3 to 6 p.m. The free, costume-friendly event is set for CPD headquarters at 1350 Galindo St.
The event is promoted in a Concord Police Department Facebook post. The gathering is a Halloween event for the community. Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to wear costumes for the occasion.
What Families Can Expect at Headquarters
The event gives Concord families a chance to take part in Halloween festivities at police headquarters. Kids and parents can enjoy the gathering in a Halloween-friendly atmosphere.
It is the kind of community meet-and-greet the department has leaned into in recent years. Back in 2024, the event was billed as the department's third annual Trunk or Treat, according to claycord.com, which reported that year's gathering ran from 3 to 6 p.m. in the department's front parking lot and offered treats, goodie bags, food, games and prizes, all free of charge.
A Growing Halloween Tradition
Naming conventions around the event's anniversary count have varied slightly across different listings in recent years. A City of Concord calendar entry referred to a fourth annual Trunk or Treat held on Oct. 25, 2025, while this year's promotional graphic from the department labels the Oct. 24 gathering its fifth annual installment. Either way, the tradition has clearly stuck, growing from a modest third-year event in 2024 into a fixture families can now expect every fall.
Whatever the exact count, the core appeal has stayed consistent: a free, family-friendly afternoon centered on Halloween. The event offers kids a chance to enjoy Halloween festivities in a setting built around public safety rather than a typical neighborhood sidewalk.
