SUMMARY:2025 Newark PD Trading Card Collection Contest!
DESCRIPTION:The Newark Police Department and Newark PAL are pleased to launch the 5th Edition of the Trading Card Contest. \nAlthough this is a contest\, the larger goal is to create opportunities for the community to meet and interact with the officers who protect them. These interactions highlight that the Newark PD and the Newark community are one. \nThe Trading Card Contest will begin on October 1st\, with announcements at City of Newark Elementary Schools and K–5 programs. We will then host the Trading Card Launch Event on October 4th at The Grove\, Community Green (between WSFS and Raising Cane’s)\, 100 Grove Lane\, Newark\, DE 19711. \n“Starter Packs\,” consisting of officer cards\, contest rule cards\, coupons\, and more\, will be distributed at these initial events. Contestants will then be tasked with collecting the remainder of the officer cards by attending various events over the next 8 weeks\, concluding on November 23rd. Several events will feature “Officers of the Day\,” where the opportunity to obtain these select officer cards outside of the featured event will be limited (though not impossible). \n\nTrading Card Event Information \nThe full list of events will be made public via social media \nFacebook.com/NewarkDEPD  \n Instagram.com/NewarkDEPD \n  \n\nPrize Eligibility \nContestants must collect 100 total cards (#1–100). (Card #00 pictured below is not included.) \nContestants must be in grades K–5. \nContestants must be City of Newark residents or attend a City of Newark School/K–5 program. \nParents cannot collect a trading card without their child present. \nPrizes will be awarded by random drawing at the conclusion of the contest. \nContestants must turn in their completed card sets\, where contact information will be collected. \nAll notifications to prize winners will be made by December 5th. \nWinners will be specially invited to the Newark PD’s Presents with Police Event on December 12th (weather permitting)\, where prizes will be awarded. \n\nPrizes \nWe are proud to announce this year’s Grand Prize:✨ A trip to Disney World ($6\,000 Value) ✨ \nAdditional prizes include: \nDay trips to Kalahari Resort and Great Wolf Lodge \nTrek Bikes \nPlayStation 5 \nNintendo Switch \nAnd More !!!! \nOfficial Card Contest Rules  \n\nThe Card Collection Contest challenges children of the Newark Community to collect a complete set of 100 cards of the Newark Police Department 2025 Trading Card Project. Once a complete set of 100 cards is collected\, the set needs to be brought to the Newark Police Department to be verified and submitted (don’t worry you will get the set back after the contest is over). A complete set of cards numbered 1-100\, Officer SOAR’s card #00 is not part of this set. The first 100 children to submit a complete set of 100 cards will be given an uncut poster of the project to take home with them. Upon turning in your complete set of 100 cards\, you will then be entered into a raffle for prizes. All raffle submissions will be entered to win the Grand Prize toward a trip to Disney World\, up to $6000.\nAnyone is welcome to collect the Newark Police Trading Cards\, but to participate in the Card Collection Contest\, you must be a child ages 5 years old to 12 years old and/or in Kindergarten to 5th grade and you must either live in the City of Newark or attend a school within the City of Newark. Children of City of Newark employees are encouraged to collect cards but are not eligible to win any of the prizes.\nThe Card Collection Contest begins on October 1\, 2025\, and ends on November 23\, 2025. A completed set of 100 cards can be turned in at the Newark Police Department (220 South Main Street). The dates and times to submit the sets will be announced on the Newark PAL and Newark Police Department social media pages.\nPrize winners will be drawn via raffle on December 1\, 2025\, by Chief Mark Farrall or his designee.

You do not need to be present on December 12\, 2025\, to claim your prize – but we would enjoy having you there.\nSubmitted complete sets of 100 cards can be picked up from the Newark Police Department on Saturday December 13th between 10am and 1pm. If you are unable to pick up the set of cards on this date\, the set of cards will be made available for pick up from the Newark Police Department at a later date.\nNo prize substitution\, assignments\, or transfers.
