Wherever they see a sheet, officers will leave a bag of candy. Candy deliveries will include little to no contact.<\/p>\n<p>To participate, residents can print the pumpkin coloring page on the Farmington Police Department\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmtn.org\/202\/Police-Department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> or pick up a copy in the department\u2019s lobby. FPD is asking residents who live in more rural areas to bring their sheets into the police department to collect their candy.<\/p>\n\n<p>In a news release, Chief Steve Hebbe said, \u201cHalloween looks a little different this year due to the pandemic, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s been canceled or we can\u2019t have fun. It\u2019s important for our community to continue to be positive for our kids and show them that we can still have a fun and memorable time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nicole Brown, the department\u2019s spokeswoman, said Hebbe frequently looks to see how other police departments are interacting with their communities and was inspired by a similar activity put on by the police department in Burbank, California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thought it was great to still have fun with Halloween and still follow COVID-19 precautions,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, the police department participates in the Boo-Palooza held by the city of Farmington. However, the department was forced to look for different ways to celebrate Halloween this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look for any opportunity that allows us to interact positively with the community,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_shirttail\"><a href=\"mailto:smarvin@durangoherald.com\">smarvin@durangoherald.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dur-cjweb.newscyclecloud.com\/assets\/pdf\/CJ3380291028.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FPD pumpkin coloring (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>pumpkin and officers will leave a bag of candy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[799,28,1753,29],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-50692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-farmington","tag-headlines","tag-holiday-or-vacation","tag-newsletter"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50692"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=50692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
