HALLOWEEN IS SATURDAY. SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL BROCKTON.
Our officers were back on the Halloween circuit Monday night, joining families for more Trunk or Treat fun at Urban Air and Texas Roadhouse!
The costumes were creative, the cruisers were spooky, and the smiles were everywhere.
AND SPEAKING OF HALLOWEEN!
The City of Brockton's trick-or-treat hours are Saturday, October 31, from 4 to 7 PM.
Before the little ghosts and goblins hit the streets, a few reminders:
DRIVERS: Slow down and watch for children. Excited trick-or-treaters aren't always watching for traffic.
PARENTS: Carry flashlights, keep children visible, and stay together.
KIDS: Use crosswalks, look both ways, and never dart between parked cars.
And remember, the scariest thing on Halloween shouldn't be someone's driving!
Happy Halloween from the Brockton Police Department!

BROCKTON DRIVERS, SOME OF YOUR ONE-WAY RELATIONSHIPS ARE NOW GOING BOTH WAYS!
And before anyone gets the wrong idea, we're talking about traffic.
The switch from one-way to two-way traffic is underway TODAY on three downtown streets!
Here's where:
Warren Avenue: Belmont Street to Spring Street
Belmont Street: Main Street to Warren Avenue
Main Street: Crescent Street to Belmont Street
New lane markings, road signs, and traffic signal adjustments are part of the changes.
A friendly reminder from the Brockton Police: Slow down, pay attention to the signs, and don't assume that car coming toward you is going the wrong way.
For once, that driver coming toward you might actually be right.
Stay alert, Brockton. Old driving habits may need a little adjusting!

π BOO! WHO LET THE GHOULS OUT? π»π
Apparently, we did!
Something strange happened to our cruisers this weekend. Mummies, monsters, and cobwebs took over. Naturally, we brought treats.
From Brockton Day Nursery and Cottage Grove Avenue to the Davis School and Councilor Jack Lally and Brockton Fire Station 7 celebration, we had a frighteningly good time!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by. The costumes were awesome, the smiles were even better, and we're pretty sure the kids made off with all the evidence.
Halloween fun is officially underway in Brockton!
