Recently a private Facebook post reported that Plum Boro will be providing a "Police Escort" for a political parade/rally scheduled to take place this weekend. This is not true. As with any large gathering or event, the Plum Police Department will be on scene to ensure the public safety for all motorists, but there will be no official escort of the parade. Plum Boro does not endorse any political candidates and the Boro does not participate in any political events beyond our mission of general public safety.

Many residents have contacted us regarding Trick-or-Treat for 2020. Halloween is not a Boro event. It is a holiday celebrated on October 31st. In recognition of the holiday tradition of trick-or-treat on Halloween, the Boro has always scheduled additional emergency personnel (police, fire and EMS) for that evening and promoted safety through community alerts; but it is not an event planned or managed by the Boro. At this time, the Boro is still anticipating providing the additional public safety personnel for trick-or treaters on Saturday, October 31st from 6pm to 8pm. If changes are mandated by the State or Federal governments regarding this holiday, we will inform the residents via social media and the SavvyCitizen alert system.
