Chief White and the Slocomb Police Department would like you and your family to be cautious when heading out on your upcoming Halloween outing. Be mindful of these basic Halloween safety tips:

*Never let your children trick or treat alone.

*Never let younger children approach a home unattended and teach them to never enter a home or car without prior permission from a parent or guardian.

*Exercise caution when crossing streets and roadways. All children should wear reflective clothing and carry a glow stick or flashlight after dark.

*Make sure that children can see and breathe unrestricted when wearing costumes and masks.

*Know where your children are and whom they are with at all times.

*Talk openly with your children about safety practices and do not be afraid to discuss scenarios.

*Teach children to resist any unwanted attention from a stranger by yelling, kicking and screaming "this person is not my father/mother".

*Parents should inspect all candies and toys their children receive before allowing them to eat or play with it.

Chief White also encourages all citizens who plan on trick-or treating in Slocomb to visit the Alabama Department of Public Safety website, before you leave for your outing. At its homepage you will notice the "Sex Offenders" tab. Simply click on this tab, and from here you will be able to see who the registered sex offenders are and where they are living. You will also find some other important information that may be useful to you and your family. The mapping and address feature found on the website pinpoints exactly where an offender lives.
