Happy Halloween! Stay safe!!! 🎃
As you know Halloween is tomorrow, so we wanted to give out some tips to make your night as safe as possible!
Tip number 1: A parent or responsible adult should accompany children on their neighborhood rounds.
Tip number 2: Have flashlights with new batteries for all children and their escorts.
Tip number 3: If your older children will be trick or treating in a group, then plan the route and make sure you specify a time and place where they are to meet you.
Tip number 4: Only go to the homes that have their porch lights on. Never ever go into a house or in a car for a treat.
Also, pedestrian injuries are some of the most common injuries on Halloween. Make sure children walk in groups with flashlights and have reflective material or reflective tape on their bags and costumes.
Always remain on sidewalks and well-lit streets. Remember when crossing streets use crosswalks and just because one car stops it doesn’t mean they all stopped, so look both ways.
Finally, contact the police if any criminal or suspicious activity is observed.
Follow these tips and have a safe and Happy Halloween ... See more
