Chief Chad Callahan requests the cooperation of the parents in assisting the community in preventing property damage from occurring. Extra officers will be on patrol in areas yjay have been identified as having problems in previous years.
Many persons have felt that some acts are acceptable and just harmless fun. These acts include but are not limited to: egg-throwing, toilet paper and shaving cream. Persons that have been the victim of these acts do not consider them as harmless fun. These incidents create property damage and are a major inconvenience to the homeowner that results in a financial hardship for the cleanup of the material left behind.
The Ocean City Police Department asks for everyone to cooperate with making this a safe and enjoyable Halloween.
