Halloween

With a dry night predicted and it being half term week, many more people than usual will be participating in Halloween this evening.

Halloween should be a fun event and not an excuse for anti-social behaviour. Recently Essex police have been doing a lot of work in communities across Essex urging people not to let the fun get out of hand.

To ensure that Halloween can be enjoyed in safety whether you are participating or not, Essex Police have issued some very good safety advice.

Some helpful safety tips for those who are planning to go trick or treating have also been produced and are well worth a read. For those residents who would rather not be bothered by trick of treaters and do not wish to be disturbed this evening, Essex Police have also produced a poster which can be printed and displayed.

Even though their will be a Police presence this evening, Essex Police are still urging everyone to use the appropriate number if they need to contact officers during the Halloween period. 

Residents should never hesitate to call 999 in a genuine emergency such as where there is a crime or serious incident in progress, a serious risk of injury or a risk of serious damage to property or the 101 number if you need to raise a concern or get in touch for advice.
