Advice for Parents:
Never let them go trick or treating on their own, make sure you accompany them and only allow them to visit people you know.

Make sure they don’t have access to fireworks, alcohol, eggs or flour and explain why they must not play tricks on strangers. 

Tell them that if nobody answers the door, or there is a ‘No Trick or Treat’ sign, they must leave immediately. 

Remind them to stay with their friends and make sure they know that they should never enter the home of a stranger.

Officers from the Safer Streets Team will be out in force on Tuesday, October 31st, to ensure that Halloween celebrations do not cause an inconvenience to residents.  They will be working in partnership with the Acceptable Behaviour Officer, the Youth Offending Team and the Crime Prevention Design Advisor.
