Thank you to everyone who came out last night to the Town of Atherton's Halloween at the Park! We hope you all had a spook-tacular time! Please stop by the police department for some glow sticks to stay visible! Remember to have fun and safe tonight while you're out trick-or-treating. ?

Skip Mills joined the Atherton Police Department over 20 years ago as a veteran police volunteer. Skip, who was a retired mechanic, volunteered to become the DARE car mechanic, working side-by-side with another volunteer on the intensive restoration work.
