The City of Carbondale Police Department is looking for volunteers.
From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on October 31st, the Police Department will be sponsoring a Halloween safety patrol called "Pumpkin Patrol".
Volunteers wearing orange safety vests and driving vehicles bearing the "Pumpkin Patrol" logo will be patrolling areas of the community where kids go to "trick or treat".
Although officers 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 threatened.
if you are interested in being apart of the "Pumpkin Patrol"" contact Officer Randy Mathis a 618-457-3200, extension 402 or send him an email to rmathis@explorecarbondale.com.
