NOPD Officers Give Away over 600 Bags of Halloween Candy to New Orleans Students Today

NOPD officers brought the candy straight to the kids today for its annual Halloween candy giveaway. Officers handed out more than 600 trick-or treat bags filled with candy to New Orleans area students at four locations including, KIPP Leadership Primary, Edward Hynes Charter School, Homer Plessy Community School, and the Youth Empowerment Project.

More than 20 local Walgreens stores donated the candy which was packed in reflective trick-or-treat bags donated by the New Orleans Police & Justice Foundation. Officers also gave the students some Halloween safety tips as well as some general ways to stay safe every day.
