Halloween is here! Before you head out for trick-or-treating, here are a few simple tips to help everyone have a fun and safe night.
-
CROSS SAFELY: Use crosswalks, look both ways before crossing, and stay alert while walking through neighborhoods.
-
BE SEEN AFTER DARK: Wear bright or reflective clothing and carry a flashlight or glow stick. Make sure masks and costumes don’t block your child’s vision.
-
STICK TOGETHER: Younger children should be accompanied by a trusted adult. Older kids should stay with friends, stick to familiar, well-lit areas, and let someone know where they’ll be.
-
CHECK THE CANDY: Take a few minutes to check treats before kids dig in. Avoid anything unwrapped, opened, or damaged.
-
DRIVE WITH CARE: If you’re driving on Halloween night, slow down, put your phone away, and keep an extra eye out for children crossing the street.
Let’s all do our part to make Halloween a fun and safe night for our community. From all of us at the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station, have a wonderful Halloween and enjoy the treats!
