Policing for Halloween

Superintendent Sean Field-Lament – For those who celebrate Halloween the intention is for it to be an enjoyable event – an opportunity for harmless family fun, dressing up in costumes and going through the neighbourhood collecting candy.
As usual police officers will be patrolling throughout the island, monitoring the various Halloween related activities. Although the Bermuda Police Service is well positioned to deal with Halloween from an enforcement perspective, I really want to take this opportunity to appeal to the community to do your part to preserve the safety and security of everyone. During the past two years, the Bermuda Police Service has seen an encouraging decline in the level of anti-social behaviour associated with Halloween festivities and we will be working hard again this year to continue that trend.
