🎃 CME had a spooktacular time at the Annual Trunk or Treat Event hosted by Columbus Division of Fire, Columbus Division of Police and Columbus Police Foundation on October 27! We brought out the Halloween spirit for the third year in a row, with three of our staff members casting spells as the Sanderson Sisters! 🧙♀️ They had a blast taking photos with attendees. We also had more CME staff volunteers passing out CME swag, prizes, and more! 🕸️👻From treats to tricks, we loved bringing spooky magic to the event and seeing all the fantastic costumes!

October is Cybersecurity Month! There is a lot you can do to stay safe online, but one of the best ways to avoid being scammed is to watch for sketchy links. When you see a link via email, text or social media, you should make sure you trust it before clicking. If you don’t know who sent it or where it originated, it’s better to not risk it. Typing in the website’s URL is a safer way to guarantee you’re going where you expect without risking giving up your information online!
