• Talk to your children about being safe! Always supervise your children while they are trick or treating.

   Wear light-colored clothing that’s short enough to prevent tripping and add reflective tape to the sides, front and back of the costume.

• Make sure children can see well through facemasks or use cosmetics to create fun or scary faces.

• Carry a flashlight after dark.

• Trick or Treat in your neighborhood or visit homes you know,

• This is one of the busiest times of the year, so if you are operating a vehicle, be alert, put down your cell phone and pay attention to your surroundings. If you are walking, watch for traffic, check and double check before crossing streets, “pay attention.”

• Only give and accept wrapped or packaged candy.

• Examine all candy before allowing children to eat it.

• Keep costumed children away from pets. The pets may not recognize the child and become frightened.
