The City of Carbondale Police Department is looking for volunteers.
On Friday, October 31st from 4 to 8pm, the police department will again be sponsoring a Halloween safety patrol called "Pumpkin Patrol", which has been in place since 1992.
Volunteers wearing orange safety vests and/or driving vehicles bearing the "Pumpkin Patrol" logo will be patrolling areas of our community where kids go to "trick or treat". Although we strongly encourage adults to accompany children, the volunteers will identify potential hazards to children and provide a place where children can turn if they feel unsafe.
If you are interested in being on the "Pumpkin Patrol," please contact Officer Randy Mathis at 618-457-3200, Extension 402, or or send an e-mail to rmathis@explorecarbondale.com.
Applications for the Pumpkin Patrol can also be completed by following this link: https://www.explorecarbondale.com/FormCenter/Encrypted-Forms-21/City-of-Carbondale-Police-Department-Pum-214.
