Police Department Shares Halloween Tips
|
|
The Police Department reminds residents to follow these tips for a safe Halloween:
- Prepare before Halloween, plan a Halloween party instead of trick-or-treating or attend a community event.
- Choose comfortable costumes and shoes that do not restrict movement.
- Avoid dark-colored costumes.
- Use makeup rather than a mask.
- Make sure costumes are fireproof or treated with fire retardant.
- Use reflective fabric or tape to improve visibility.
- On Halloween day, turn on exterior lights and remove objects that could cause tripping.
- Avoid trick-or-treating alone – stay with an adult and in groups.
