Come on out to see us this evening with the rest of the Public Safety in Glynn County. New location this year!

!!! TRUNK OR TREAT IS MOVING!!!

Glynn-Brunswick 911 is inviting families to join local public safety heroes for the 2026 Public Safety Trunk-or-Treat. The event will be held at the Glynn County Stadium from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 29. !!! We are also accepting donations for our Toys for Tots drive! Donation boxes will be available at the entrance. Please bring a new toy or book!

This family-friendly event offers a safe place for trick-or-treating, with treats provided by police officers, firefighters, 911 professionals, and other public safety partners.

Kids are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite superheroes, princesses, ghosts, or goblins and enjoy an evening where meeting a public safety officer comes with a smile, a piece of candy, and maybe even a few Halloween surprises.

The Public Safety Trunk-or-Treat is an opportunity for children and families to meet the people who answer the call, respond to emergencies, and work every day to keep the community safe – all in a relaxed, fun, and family-friendly atmosphere.

JIFD personnel conducted joint training with the Glynn County Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency to evaluate their new underwater scanning technology. This device significantly enhances search efficiency compared to traditional methods. Functionally analogous to our thermal imaging equipment, it provides visibility in low-light conditions to facilitate the location of missing persons.
