🎃🚔 On Halloween, officers from Day Shift B and Midnight Shift B of the Sandwich Police Department were out passing out candy from their squad cars alongside members of the Sandwich Emergency Management Agency (EMA).
Our Sandwich Police Explorers also joined in on the fun, helping hand out candy and interacting with families throughout the evening.
From the creative costumes to the laughs and jokes shared along the way, it was a fun night for everyone involved. We enjoyed seeing all the trick-or-treaters and sharing in the Halloween festivities.

👊🚔 This morning, Chief Senne and Officer Hegland participated in Fist Bump Friday at our local schools, welcoming students with smiles, fist bumps, and a positive start to their school day.
Chief Senne even had the opportunity to meet a future Chief of Police. Looks like the Sandwich Police Department may already have its next generation of leadership lined up. 🚔
