To keep everyone safe during this spooky season, SPD advises trick-or-treaters of all ages to review and adhere to the following Halloween safety tips:

• Trick or treat only during the suggested timeframe 
• Only visit familiar, well-lit neighborhoods and homes that have their porch lights on
• Walk on the sidewalk and observe all traffic laws
• Parents should inspect children’s candy before they eat any. If anything is unwrapped or looks suspicious, throw it away
• Make sure trick-or-treaters have a flashlight and are wearing costumes that do not restrict their vision, could cause them to trip, are flame retardant and are light colored and visible. Consider placing reflective tape on costumes or treat bags
• Walk—don’t run
• Never go into a stranger’s home
• Always trick or treat with an adult
• Notify police of any suspicious activity
