VBT police to have increased patrols for Halloween night

Van Buren Township Public Safety Director Greg Laurain said historically VBT police and fire have increased personnel staffing on Halloween evening when the communities’ children are out and about trick or treating.
And, this year is no different.
“We will also be offering candy checks in the lobby of the police department for families who wish to stop by 46425 Tyler Road where our officers will be ready and happy to check candy for our children,” Director Laurain said.
This year, they have Selected Enforcement Units to patrol subdivisions and will be keeping an eye out for the safety of children between the hours of 5:30 and 8 p.m.
Laurain said this Selected Enforcement will consist of high-visibility, marked patrol units assigned to specific areas where they anticipate heavy foot traffic.
