Halloween falls on a Wednesday this year, so most trick-or-treating in 2012 is happening in the middle of the week.   (For instant news updates follow Patch on Facebook and Twitter.)

Officers will be giving away candy on Halloween night.  Most young children will begin trick-or-treating just before sunset while older kids will likely stay out a little longer in the evening. Sunset for Halloween is expected at 6:02 p.m., …
