Peel - On Thursday, October 16, 2008, Peel Regional Police and Rogers Cable will launch the annual Rogers Pumpkin Patrol safety campaign. The campaign aims to educated parents and their children about the importance of Halloween safety.

 

With all the excitement on Halloween night, safety isn’t always the first thing on the minds of children while they are trick-or-treating. For adults, however, safety is always a concern. Parents in Peel Region will have the comfort of knowing that police officers, along with the bright red vans of Rogers Cable, will be patrolling neighbourhood streets on Friday, October 31st.
