Sheriff’s Office Plans Increased Patrols on Halloween

As trick-or-treaters hit Pasco County’s streets in search of candy and snacks, sheriff’s office deputies plan to increase their presence to keep little ghosts and goblins safe.

Sheriff Chris Nocco announced the increased road patrols for Oct. 31 as part of a push to ensure safety.

“The Sheriff's Office plans to utilize the mounted unit and traffic units to increase overall safety on Halloween night,” a sheriff’s office media release said. “They will also be patrolling at numerous Halloween special events scheduled across the county.”

Motorists are asked to exercise caution when driving through neighborhoods during trick-or-treating hours.
