Police Department has some tips on making this
Halloween a fun and safe experience.
Wear light-colored
clothing that's short enough to prevent tripping and add
reflective tape to the side, front and back of a costume
Make sure children can see well through face masks, or
use cosmetics to create fun or scary faces
Adults should accompany young children
Go out in daylight and carry a flashlight in case of
delay
Stay within the neighborhood and only visit homes you
know
Watch for traffic
Only give and accept wrapped or packaged candy
Examine all candy before allowing children to eat it
Keep costumed children away from pets. The pet may not
recognize the child and become frightened
Avoid hard plastic or wood props such as daggers or
swords. Substitute with foam or rubber which is soft and
flexible
If you set jack-o-lanterns on your porch with candles in
them, make sure that they are far enough out of the way
so that kids costumes won't accidentally be set on fire.
Teaching your kids basic everyday safety such as not
getting into cars or talking to strangers, watching both
ways before crossing streets and crossing when the
lights tell you to, will help make them safer when they
are out Trick or Treating.
Make Halloween a fun, safe and happy time for you kids
and they'll carry on the tradition that you taught them
to their own families some day. |
