Public safety officers encourage parents and children to follow basic safety guidelines, including:
- Wear flame-retardant costumes marked with reflective tape.
- Never leave a lit jack-o-lantern unattended.
- Tell children to bring all their treats home, so a parent can sort out any suspicious or hazardous items.
All children should:
- Take a pre-established route in a known neighborhood and have a curfew.
- Bring flashlights, stay on sidewalks and avoid crossing yards and cross streets at the corner, not between parked cars.
- Stop at all corners and stay together in a group before crossing the street.
- Visit only well-lit homes and remain on the porch; do not go inside.
Young children should:
- Be accompanied by an adult at all times.
- Have their name, address and phone number on their costume
