Sheriff’s Corner: Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween is almost here. To ensure that you have a fun-filled and safe evening, please keep these tips in mind.

Use sidewalks if possible and if they aren’t available, stay close to the curb and walk facing traffic. Make eye contact with drivers to ensure you’re seen before crossing the street.

Adult supervision is key; but if you believe your child is mature enough to trick-or-treat alone, be sure they do so in groups.

Adults should inspect all candy before kids eat it, and discard any opened or homemade treats.

Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers or consider using glow sticks and flashlights to make motorists aware of your presence.

Motorists should slow down in residential areas and use extra caution when entering and exiting driveways and alleys.

Drive safely – slow down and watch out for pedestrians, assume they do not see you, put your phone away while driving, and never drink and drive.
