News Release

PAL-O-Ween Trunk Or Treat Offers Safe, Fun Halloween For Local Families (Photo) - 10/22/25

The Police Activities League of Southwest Washington (PAL of SWWA), in partnership with Cloth & Foster, is thrilled to host the first-ever PAL-O-Ween Trunk or Treat event on Thursday, October 23rd from 5:30–7:30 PM at 18405 SE Mill Plain Blvd, Vancouver, WA. This free, family-friendly event is open to the public and promises a safe and festive Halloween celebration for youth and families across the community.

 

Unlike traditional Trunk or Treats, PAL-O-Ween will feature over 15 law enforcement vehicles from agencies including the Vancouver Police Department, Clark County Sheriff's Office, Washington State Patrol, and Ridgefield Police Department. Youth will have the opportunity to explore these vehicles up close while collecting candy and connecting with local officers in a positive, welcoming environment.

 

In addition to the impressive lineup of patrol cars, the event will include:

  • Craft station
  • Festive photo booth
  • Community-hosted trunks handing out candy

This inaugural event was inspired by the tragic violence that occurred at Vancouver Mall last Halloween. In response, PAL is committed to providing a safe and joyful space for families to celebrate the season. With over 350 youth already RSVP’d, PAL-O-Ween is shaping up to be a vibrant and meaningful gathering for the community.

“We know many families are looking for a safe place to celebrate Halloween this year,” said Jesse Jimenez, Executive Director of PAL of SWWA. “PAL-O-Ween is our way of showing that law enforcement and the community can come together to create something positive, safe, and fun for our youth.”

Media are welcome to attend and cover this exciting event.

 

PAL of SWWA's mission is to foster and facilitate positive relationships between law enforcement and youth.
