Trick or Treat Safety Tips
Please remember these Halloween safety tips as children
head out to go Trick or Treating on Friday,
October 31, 2008 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00
p.m.:
1. Try to Trick or Treat when it is still light outside.
2. Wear a costume that is easy to walk in, see from, and be seen in.
3. If you must Trick or Treat in the dark, make sure your costume is light in color.
4. Carry a flashlight with you so you can be easily seen.
5. Use reflective tape on your costume to be seen easier.
6. Use make-up instead of a mask.
7. If you are using a mask, make sure it fits properly and eye holes are large.
8. If someone older cannot go with you, Trick or Treat in a group.
9. Cross only at corners. Never cross between parked cars or at mid-block.
10. Tell your family which streets you will be Trick or Treating on.
11. If there are no sidewalks, always walk facing traffic.
12. Wait until you get home to sort, check, and eat your treats.
The Stevens Point Police Department hopes that everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!
