▶️ Reminder For Parents To Ensure A Safe And Enjoyable Halloween ◀️

As Halloween events take place throughout the community, the Gloucester Township Police wants to remind parents that they will be held responsible for the unlawful and unruly actions of their children. 🎃

Earlier this year, Mayor Mayer introduced and Council passed enhanced penalties to hold parents responsible when minors violate the Curfew Ordinance. We ask parents to talk to your kids, know where they are going and who they will be with. Unruly behavior and mischief will not be enforced tolerated throughout the Halloween season. 🎃

The men and women of the Gloucester Township Police Department are here to celebrate and ensure all of the community can have a safe and fun Halloween season. 🎃
