Halloween message from the police

Today is Halloween (and that is presumably why I saw Frankenstein's monster on a bicycle yesterday evening...). Subscribers to eCops have received the following mesage from the police:

HALLOWE’EN

I know that we have already made you aware of the precautions regarding Hallowe’en but just a quick reminder.

* Ideally children should be accompanied by an adult.
* Children should stay in groups, make sure at least one person has a mobile phone on them and not go out too late.
* Children should tell someone where they are going, what route they will be taking and what time to expect them back.
* Not everyone wants to get involved in Halloween and we ask children and parents to leave residents not wanting to take part in peace.

We hope everyone enjoys themselves and I’m sure we will see many of you on the night. If you have any issues or concerns during Hallowe’en, let us know on 0345 456 456 4.

If you don't wish to be disturbed you can download a poster from here in either colour or black and white.

Having said all that: if you are going trick-or-treating or to a Halloween event have a good time.

News from eCops about Halloween

If you haven't signed up for ecops then I'd strongly suggest you do. This is a roughly weekly email newsletter from the police that contains local information.

You can sign up from the Police website.

At the moment they are reminding people about acceptable behaviour around Halloween, in particular the efforts being made with local shopkeepers and the usual safety reminders.

They are also offering posters for those who don't want Trick or Treaters to call.

Email the police if you want one.
