Halloween Safety Tips!
TREAT SAFETY TIPS
- Eat only factory-wrapped treats, and never eat anything homemade from strangers!
- Examine all candy for choking hazards and tampering
- Be aware of products containing THC, CBD, or other Cannabis related products that may resemble gummies or chocolate.
- Remember: IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!
NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY TIPS
- Trick or treat in groups if possible
- Never allow small children to visit a door without a trusted adult.
- Teach children not to approach vehicles
- Children under the age of 12 should not be alone at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, they should stick to well-lit and familiar areas.
GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
- Citizens should keep doors locked, even if you are just "out front" handing out candy, to prevent unwanted persons entering your home.
- Another way to ensure the safety of Trick-Or-Treaters is to attend public, organized events, instead of visiting unfamiliar neighborhoods, consider Halloween festivities at malls, churches or events sponsored by local businesses.
- Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and if possible, choose light colors.
- Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by others.
