Dear Resident,
We often get an increase in calls around this time of year, not just on Halloween itself, especially around unwanted visitors, young people committing anti-social behaviour (knocking doors and running away, throwing objects, kicking doors, etc.) and lost children in the community.
Please remember the following to keep yourself and everyone else safe, and reduce any anti-social behaviour: Adults should always accompany children whilst trick or treating. Young people should never go trick or treating alone. Do not knock on the doors of strangers - only go to people you know. Never go into a stranger's house!Always keep to well-lit areas. Wear bright clothing and always carry a torch. Remember road safety. Unless pre-arranged, do not visit elderly members of the community. Be careful not to frighten vulnerable people.Keep your tricks within the law - anything that results in damage is an offence and will be dealing with as such.Please do not knock on doors where there is a ‘No trick or treat sign’.
Your Safer Neighbourhood Team will be on patrol throughout this week and all the way through Halloween evening.
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable time, but please be considerate to others.
