DeKalb Police host Halloween event

DeKalb County Police will be handing out candy instead of traffic tickets Saturday at the force’s second annual “Trunk or Treat” event.

The free event is scheduled for 2-5 p.m. outside headquarters at 1960 West Exchange Place in Tucker.

Officers say this is one day a year they encourage. They will be looking for families dressed in costumes.

In addition to candy, the department will offer free face-painting, police spokesman Officer Jason Gagnon said.
