Crime Prevention Tips
The following crime prevention tips can help make
Halloween safe and more enjoyable for everyone:
• Do not leave your home unattended;
• Keep your pet(s) indoors or other in another safe
place;
•Walk through your neighborhood with others to dis
courage acts of malicious mischief and speeding
motorists;
• Set a specific time limit for your child/children to
be out;
• Only give homemade treats to children you know.
Make sure the treats are properly wrapped;
• Give commercially wrapped treats to children you
do not know;
• Instruct your children to never enter the home of a
stranger;
• Never invite children into your home;
• Instruct children not to stray from their group;
• Children should never be allowed to go out alone;
• Always know who your children are with;
• Always escort your children. If you cannot escort
your children, you should select another trusted
adult to escort them;
• Adult escorts should carry flashlights;
• Children should walk, not run, to avoid tripping;
• Children should never accept rides from strangers;
• Turn your porch light on to let children know it's
all right to visit your home;
• Instruct your children to stay in their own
neighborhood and to trick or treat at homes that
have porch lights on
• Know the exact routes your children will take;
• Children should never take shortcuts through
backyards, alleys or parks;
• Children should carry trick or treat bags that have
strong straps or handles. This allows a child to
carry the bag in one hand, leaving the other hand
free;
• Children should wear identification bracelets;
• Children should trick or treat during daytime
hours;
• At night, children should stay on well-lit streets;
• Children should wear costumes made of white or
light colored material. The costumes should be
fireproof. If the costume is made of dark material,
attach reflector tape on the costume to increase
nighttime visibility;
• Children should wear comfortable, proper fitting
costumes and shoes. Oversized costumes, shoes,
boots or loose fitting high heels can make it difficult
for children to walk.
Safety Tips
Props, such as toy guns, swords and knives
should be made of soft rubber, Styrofoam, cardboard
or other pliable material. Replica firearms that could
be mistaken for real firearms should be avoided. If
your child carries a jack-o'-lantern, a flashlight should
be placed inside, not a candle. Children should use
non-allergenic facial makeup instead of masks. Make
sure you apply a thin coat of cold cream before
application of any makeup. The makeup will come
off easier if you do this. Masks can restrict vision. If
your child wears a mask, make sure he/she removes it
when he/she crosses a street. Older children should
attend an adult-supervised Halloween party, instead
of going out to trick or treat. Younger children may
enjoy attending an adult supervised Halloween party
instead of going out to trick or treat.
Children should look in all directions before
crossing the street and should obey all traffic signals.
Children should always walk on sidewalks and not on
streets. Children should cross streets at corners. They
should never cross streets between parked cars, in the
middle of blocks or diagonally across intersections;
and streets in rural areas without sidewalks should be
avoided. If there are no sidewalks, children should
stay as far left of the roadway as possible anwalk facing
traffic.
Halloween is a time for ghosts and goblins
and fun with your friends. Almost everybody is nice,
but sometimes a few people play mean tricks on
children at Halloween. These tricks include putting
dangerous things in candy and treats.
As always, please feel free to call or email me.
