The Red Oak Police Department wishes you a very Happy Halloween! Please be safe and have fun. Report anything suspicious to our police dispatch at 972 617-7632. Here are some tips you should keep in mind: Always use common sense. Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an adult. Never trick-or-treat alone. Have at least 2 buddies go with you. Plan your entire route and make sure your family knows what it is. Make sure that you are wearing a flame retardant costume. Wait until you get home and your parents check your candy before you eat it. Be very cautious of strangers. Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go inside a house. Be sure and say thank you for your treats. Don't play near lit jack-o-lanterns. Visit only houses where the lights are on. Walk, Do not run. Walk on sidewalks and driveways. Cross the street at the corner or in a crosswalk. Take a cellular phone with you if possible. Wear a watch.
