Thank you to our SROs and the Wilder Police Department for sharing these safety tips. Wishing you all a fun and safe Halloween!
TRICK-OR-TREATING SAFETY
Always accompany young children and plan a safe route in well-lit areas. Walk on the sidewalk if one is available and use crosswalks. Watch for Pedestrians and focus on the road at all times.
COSTUME PRECAUTIONS
Ensure costumes fit well and do not obstruct vision or impede movement to prevent trips and falls. Avoid long, trailing costumes or accessories that may cause accidents or entanglements.
SAFETY AT HAUNTED ATTRACTIONS
Follow all posted rules and guidelines when visiting haunted houses or mazes. Be aware of any age restrictions or recommendations for certain attractions.
CANDY INSPECTION GUIDELINES
Instruct children not to eat any candy until it has been inspected at home by a parent or guardian.
PARTY SAFETY TIPS
Keep well-lit paths and stairways to prevent trips and falls at Halloween parties and gatherings. Use flameless candles or battery-operated lights for decorations to avoid fire hazards.
PET SAFETY ON HALLOWEEN
Keep pets indoors during Halloween festivities to prevent them from getting scared or agitated.
