Poll: Is your family going trick-or-treating tonight?
Waitematā North area commander Bruce O'Brien said that although Rodney Police will not be celebrating Halloween, there will be Police staff out in the community to ensure everyone remains safe.
O'Brien recommends that all children are accompanied by an adult for Halloween.
He said those who are trick-or-treating should remember to respect people's property and those who chose not to celebrate.
Police request that imitation weapons are not used as they can scare some members of the community.
"Police just want everyone to have a fun and safe night."

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
