🎃 Happy Halloween from Your Local Police Team! 👻
As the spooky season approaches, we’d like to wish all our residents a fun, festive, and safe Halloween. Whether you're trick-or-treating, attending a party, or simply enjoying the autumn atmosphere, here are some top tips to help keep everyone safe:
🧙♀️ Costume Safety
• Choose costumes that are visible in the dark—add reflective tape or carry a torch.
• Avoid masks that obstruct vision; face paint is a safer alternative.
• Make sure costumes are flame-resistant and fit properly to prevent trips and falls.
🚶 Trick-or-Treating Tips
• Children should always be accompanied by a trusted adult.
• Stick to well-lit streets and only visit homes with lights on.
• Never enter a stranger’s home or accept lifts from people you don’t know.
🍬 Treats
• Check all sweets before eating—avoid anything unwrapped or suspicious.
• Be mindful of allergies and dietary restrictions.
🚗 For Drivers
• Slow down in residential areas and watch for children crossing the road.
• Avoid distractions and stay alert—excited little ghosts and goblins may not look both ways!
🏠 For Homeowners
• Keep pathways clear and well-lit to prevent accidents.
• If you’re not participating, consider leaving a polite sign to let trick-or-treaters know.
📱 Report Concerns If you see anything suspicious or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us via 101 or report online. In an emergency, always dial 999.
Let’s make this Halloween a safe and memorable one for all. Thank you for helping us keep our community safe!
🎃 Stay spooky, stay safe!
