On Tuesday, October 28 from 3:00-5:00 p.m., the Bellevue Police Department will meet with community members at the Polaris at Eastgate community for a Halloween event ahead of the holiday.
Media wishing to attend Tuesday’s event should email an RSVP to PIO Drew Anderson at daanderson@bellevuewa.gov.
Community members will receive trick-or-treat safety tips and candy from Bellevue Officers during the afternoon event. They will also have the opportunity to meet Fluffy, the Bellevue Police Department’s specialized robot dog. Fluffy is a piece of equipment that is deployed whenever there is an incident that could risk the safety of officers or the general public.
“The Bellevue Police Department is fortunate to have strong relationships and support from community members in every corner of the city. Officers will always find opportunities to connect with residents, because these relationships help ensure we maintain this city as a safe place for everyone,” said Wendell Shirley, Chief of Police.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the Bellevue Police Department to Polaris at Eastgate for this festive and educational Halloween event,” said Addison Carr, Community Manager with Polaris at Eastgate. “Events like these help build strong connections between residents and local law enforcement, and we’re proud to be a space where those relationships can grow. We look forward to a safe and fun afternoon for families in our community.”
