Trick or Treating Safety Tips:

  • An adult parent or guardian should accompany children
  • If older children plan to trick-or-treat alone, plan a route, make sure they have one or more cell phones, and set an agreed end time. Call to check in periodically.
  • Only go to homes that are well-lit and have a porch light on
  • Never go inside a home or car for a treat. Remain on the doorstep when visiting a home.
  • Put reflective tape on bags and costumes
  • Children and adults should have flashlights and stay in well-lit areas
  • Dress warmly
  • Always use the sidewalk, if available. If there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic and stay off the road as much as possible.
  • Cross the street as a group, at crosswalks if available
  • Do not run across street
  • Be very careful with costume accessories such as swords and knives
  • A parent or guardian should check all treats before eating, in case of allergies or tampering. Avoid homemade treats.
  • Be very careful around luminaries, candles, and open flames.
