Policing for Halloween

Tue, 2013-10-29

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.

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.
