LAPD News:

Like most things this year being modified because of Covin-19, Halloween in Los Alamos also is being modified.  

The Los Alamos Police Department will have extra patrols out for Halloween but their objective is to ensure public safety regarding pedestrians and motor vehicles, not to tell people they can not participate in trick-or-treating.  

Per the Governor of New Mexico, CDC guidelines, current New Mexico public health orders and local county council recommendations; participating in trick-or-treating is not prohibited, just discouraged. 

If citizens do not want to to participate in trick-or-treating, we request they keep their porch lights off and put a note on their front door. LAPD requests that people who do participate in trick-or-treating respect citizens who choose to not participate.

LAPD will not be responding to calls for service reporting people are trick-or-treating.

There are several community organizations that are going to provide safe trick-or-treating alternatives this year, and we request people seek out those options as well.  

As a reminder to all motorist with Day Light Savings Time ending Sunday, Nov. 1, please use extra caution for pedestrians and bicyclists.
