HALLOWEEN SAFETY FOR KIDS, TEENS, AND PARENTS

Monterey Park, CA – We would like to share some tips to assure that your Halloween is safe and enjoyable.

• Don’t trick-or-treat alone. Walk in groups or with a TRUSTED ADULT.
• Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you.
• Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.
• Always WALK and don’t run from house to house.
• Look both ways before crossing the street and use crosswalks wherever possible.
• If you are a young teen and going out with friends, make sure your parents know where you are going and who you are going with.
• Only visit well-lit houses and never go inside.
• Avoid wearing masks that block your view.
• Swords, knives, and similar costume accessories should be short and flexible to avoid injuries.
• Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
• examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.
• Never accept rides from strangers.
• Carry a fully charged cellphone for emergencies.

Remember, if you “SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING” Report observations promptly to your local police.

In case of emergency dial 911.
For non-emergencies dial (626) 573-1311
