Halloween Trick or Treat

We know that not everyone welcomes trick or treaters to their homes on Halloween so you can download and print a poster to make this clear to anyone trick or treating.  

If you don't have access to a printer, you can also visit your local police station, and our team will be happy to print a poster for you.  

We'll have high-visibility patrols in place in Scarborough and officers will move on anyone causing anti-social behaviour or intimidating members of the public. 

Whilst it is usually just a small minority of people who spoil celebrations with pranks that cause criminal damage or intimidation, incidents of anti-social behaviour won’t be tolerated. 

We’re also expecting an increase in demand on our phonelines, and we would ask you to help us and only call 999 in a genuine emergency. 

If you would like to discourage trick-or-treaters from coming to your home, or the home of a loved one or vulnerable neighbour, you can download and print the poster below to display in your windows or front door.
