INFORMATION RELEASE
Date: 2014-10-20
From: Lieutenant David Campbell
Case or Incident: #N/A
Friday, 10/31/2014, is Halloween and the Juneau Police Department will be conducting enhanced enforcement. In addition to normal staffing for a Friday night, an additional nine officers are scheduled to work. The additional officers will focus on providing a police presence and respond to incidents, both in town and for the entire road system.
Motorists are reminded that there will be more pedestrians on the street than normal. Please drive safely near pedestrians and watch for people running from house to house in neighborhoods.
Pedestrians are reminded to watch for motorists and cross streets at designated crosswalks if available. Pedestrians are advised to wear bright clothing, walk in groups, have adult supervision, and carry a light source. If trick or treating, do not enter a stranger?s house and only accept unopened store bought treats.
To help pedestrians be seen, JPD has a limited supply of red and blue LED flashing clip lights available at no charge. The lights can be picked up at the JPD front counter during normal business hours. Supplies are limited to two lights per person.
JPD hopes that everyone has a safe and happy Halloween.
