Mayor Laforet's Halloween Safety Tips and Trunk or Treat Information

Tomorrow is Halloween and it is an exciting time of the year for children. In order to ensure their safety here are some safety considerations for children:
* When your children get home check all treats to make sure they are sealed and there are no signs of tampering.
* Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure shoes fit well and costumes are short enough to prevent tripping.
* Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes
* Make sure wigs or accessories are labeled as flame resistant.
* Swords, knives and other accessories should be short, soft and flexible.
* Parents or responsible adults should always accompany young children.
* If older children are going alone plan and review their route that is acceptable to you and agree on a return time.
* Give your children flashlights with new batteries.
* Never go into homes of strangers. Only approach houses with porch lights on.
* Notify the police immediately of any suspicious activity.
