Launching the Halloween initiative were Garda Trish Fitzpatrick, Inspector Tim O’Keeffe, Superintendent Paul Kennedy , Student Garda Aoife Coffey and Garda Mary Gardiner with youngsters in front Oisin Burke, Lilly McLoughlin and Noah McMahon.
AN Garda Siochana in Tralee are rolling out an initiative to enable every house enjoy the spooky season in a safe and non-intrusive manner.
Each year thousands of homes welcome trick or treaters to their door for the annual ritual, but for a variety of reasons, residents in many houses are unable to partake in the festivities or would prefer not to answer the door.
This can lead to confusion and upset for kids and adults alike so to help everyone enjoy Halloween, An Garda Siochana are providing houses with door signs that will clearly let everyone know whether or not they are taking part in the trick or treating tradition.

The aim is to make it a more enjoyable Halloween night for everyone. The signs are similar to the ‘do not disturb/make up my room’ signs on the doors of hotel rooms.

The red sign indicates the resident prefers that trick or treaters do not call, while the green one lets children know they are welcome to knock on the door.
The signs are free to collect from Tralee Garda Station.
