While Trick-or-treating remember

• Never Trick-or-treat alone, always go in a group, of two or more. 
• Only visit houses where the lights are on. 
• Carry a flashlight and use it so that drivers can see you, and you can see hazards in the street or in front of you. 
• Walk on sidewalks and drivesways. 
• Cross only at street corners, never between parked cars, and never diagonally across a intersection. 
• Look all directions before crossing the street, and obey all traffic signals. Walk, don't run across the street. Use sidewalks, not the street for walking. 
• Be very cautious of strangers. 
• Do not accept rides from strangers. 
• Do not take short cuts through backyards, alleys, or parks. 
• Do not go inside anyone's house. Remain on the porch at all times. 
• Be polite and say thank you for your treats. 
• Don't play near lit jack-0-lanterns. 
• Do not eat any of the treats until your parents have inspected them. 
• Discard any homemade or unwrapped treats. 
• Call 9--1-1 if you suspect any tainted candy. 

Adults

• Welcome trick-or-treaters with your porch lights and any exterior lights on. 
• Patrol your street occasionally to discourage speeding cars, acts of mischief and crimes against children. 
• Call 9-1-1 to report any suspicious or criminal activity. Or call your police department immediately. 
• Do not give homemade or unwrapped treats to children. 
• Do not invite children into your home.
• If driving, exercise extreme caution. Be on the alert for excited children whose vision may be obscured by masks, darting out into traffic.
• BE SURE AND CHECK YOUR CHILDRENS TREATS!
