Halloween


Halloween can be a scary time for people who do not like surprises or callers at the door.

Here is our advice for elderly or vulnerable residents:

  • Place the ‘no trick or treats’ card on your door or in your window to help deter trick or treaters. You can download and print your own copy below.

  • If you do receive an unexpected caller at the door do not feel pressured to answer it

  • If you are expecting a delivery or visit from a professional always ask for ID or confirmation of their work place.

  • If you have a door chain make sure it is securely fastened at all times and lock your porch door

  • Be sure to use your spy hole viewer if you have one. If you have one, talk through your wireless video doorbell

  • Download and print off our ‘no trick or treats’ poster.
