Trick-or-Treating safety

  • Children should be well supervised by an adult when trick-or-treating. Older children should trick-or-treat in large groups in well-known neighborhoods.
  • Carry a flashlight
  • Stick to well lit houses in familiar neighborhoods only
  • Follow traffic signals and rules of the road
  • Drive slowly
  • Avoid taking shortcuts across backyards. Stick to the sidewalks of well lit streets
