In order to ensure a safer and fun-filled Halloween for the young participants, the police ask for the cooperation of parents in order to get their children to 'trick or treat' between 4:30 pm and 8:30 pm on October 31st.
At Halloween, some people in costume sometimes attempt to scare others (e.g.: clowns). Although they are generally intended to be pranks, such behaviours can be seen as menacing and make people feel unsafe. Keep in mind that depending on the context, such behaviour can be considered a criminal offence and be liable to prosecution.
Should such a situation occur, do not intervene. Instead, if you feel threatened or witness a situation, please call 911 immediately to report the incident.
