The Gloucester Township Police Department will be conducting extra patrols this weekend and on Halloween in our Gloucester Township, New Jersey neighborhoods to ensure our children are safe.
Gloucester Township's recommended hours for trick-or-treating on Monday October 31st are after school until 7 PM. All questions and comments please contact the Township at 856-228-4000 or click here: https://glotwp.com/information/contact-us/ . Please DO NOT call GTPD Emergency or Non Emergency phone numbers for trick or treat information.
Help keep all our Gloucester Township children safe on Halloween:
- Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross.
- Put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.
- Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars and be especially careful around driveways and alleys.
- Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, tell them to stick to familiar areas that are well lit, stay on sidewalks if available, and trick-or-treat in small groups.
- Always inspect your child's candy to ensure it's safe.
