Ava and Brooklyn Newitt, 3, pose with representatives from Delta police, fire and municipal staff. Every year the police and fire departments team up with staff volunteers for the Halloween Patrol.

The Corporation of Delta, in cooperation with CUPE Local 454, is once again organizing a Halloween Patrol.

Set to run from 6:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. on the evenings of Oct. 30 and 31, the Halloween Patrol involves the police and fire departments, municipal hall and volunteer members of CUPE Local 454.

The patrol provides extra eyes and ears to enhance security at Delta's facilities, parks and schools as volunteers report all suspicious activities to the Delta police.

"The Halloween Patrol is a well-coordinated effort and another great example of staff working together to help reduce vandalism and protect our community property," said Mayor Lois Jackson.

To increase visibility and safety, the lights at some sports fields and recreation facility parking lots will be left on overnight on Oct. 29, 30, 31 and Nov. 1. Anyone who sees suspicious activity is asked to call Delta police at 604-946-4411.
