Happy Halloween

The Chatham-Kent Police would like to wish everyone a Happy Halloween.

Motorists are reminded to be extra careful tonight while driving through residential areas as there will be lots of little ghosts and goblins trick-or-treating. Although we encourage children to trick-or-treat with a responsible adult, this is an exciting night and sometimes children are not as careful as they should be.
