Halloween Tips
  • Trick-or-Treat with a group and take along a parent or a teen-aged brother or sister.

  • Trick-or-Treat in neighborhoods you know, you trust and that are well lit. Stay out of dark alleys, dark stairwells or remote locations.

  • Discuss your Halloween route with your parents and the time you will return.

  • Wear clothing that is light in color and not too long. Add something that glows in the dark or is reflective.

  • Wear make-up instead of a mask that can inhibit vision.

  • Take a flashlight and walk on the sidewalks.

  • Cross streets at the crosswalks and stay away from cars.

  • Stay outside the homes you visit.

  • Be sure all treats are wrapped and sealed. Eat them only after a parent checks them first.

  • Trust your feelings! Stay away from strange or uncomfortable situations.

  • If you do not feel safe Trick-or-Treating, do not Trick-or-Treat.

  • Have a fun and SAFE Halloween.
