Treats, not Tricks: Keep Halloween in Safe Hands - Your Family's



Safe & Sound Trick or Treating
Teach Your Kids

Start by taking your kids, not sending them
Add to the fun by including other families
Find a "family-friendly" neighborhood (even if you must drive there)
Escort young children to the door; instruct them never to enter a house


Have children use the "buddy system" - pick a partner and stick together
Avoid close encounters with candles - in and out of the jack-o-lanterns
Light your way by remember to take flashlights
Leave dark houses behind; no porch light, trick-or-treaters are not welcome
Observe safety sense; cross streets at intersections after looking both ways
Wear comfortable costumes that don't obstruct vision; use reflector tape if needed
Educate your children about "stranger danger" in age-appropriate ways
Equip yourselves with cell phones or 2-way radios
Nibble candy at home after a thorough checking by parents
