The dark Autumn nights bring the challenge of staying safe, particularly around Halloween and Bonfire night.

To help people stay safe at this time of year Greater Manchester Police target their resources in a crime and anti-social behaviour reduction campaign called Operation Treacle.

At the same time, GMP and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service work to promote safety messages through their Safe4Autumn campaign. On the Safe4Autumn website you’ll find two posters to download and put in your window which tell trick or treaters whether or not they’re welcome to call.

You can find information about Halloween safety and download the red and green trick or treat posters from the following website: safe4autumn.com/halloween-safety
