Stay safe this season and have a spooktacular Halloween

Dorset Police is asking those celebrating to do so respectfully so everyone can have a fab-boo-lous Halloween and stay safe this season.

If you are celebrating Halloween this year by heading out trick-or-treating, we want you to have a fun and safe time, but remember that not everyone wants visitors at their door. When out and about, look for the houses that are decorated and welcoming to visitors and be considerate to more vulnerable members of the community that may be distressed by people knocking on their doors.

However, if Halloween gives you a fright and you will be staying inside waiting for the ghosts and ghouls to leave and for it to be over, we would like to encourage you to go to https://www.dorset.police.uk/Halloween. Here you can find a poster asking people not to knock on your door, which can be downloaded, printed and stuck on your door or in your windows.
