And here’s some helpful tips from police to enjoy a safe and fun Halloween:
- Parents or caregivers should supervise their young children at all times and not let them go off with people they don’t know.
- Trick-or-treating in areas that are well lit and only where the children know the residents.
- Always go with an adult, or if you are a teen stick with your friends and look out for each other.
- If you see a sign that says ‘no trick-or-treat here’ or similar then respect their wishes.
- Householders do not have to open the door or respond to knocks from Halloween visitors.
- Check your trusted community pages to see which homes will be participating in Halloween.
