Trick or Treat? Trick or Treat Yourself to Safety This Halloween!

Halloween is right around the corner, and while we're all looking forward to costumes, candy, and spooky fun, it's crucial to remember safety first! Laredo Police are urging everyone to celebrate responsibly and take precautions to avoid any scary situations. After all, nobody wants a real-life Michael Myers encounter on their trick-or-treating adventure.

Laredo Police: Keepin' It Safe on Halloween

The Laredo Police Department is working hard to keep our streets safe for everyone, especially our little ghouls and goblins. They'll be patrolling neighborhoods, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity, and ensuring everyone enjoys a fun and safe Halloween. Here are some tips from the Laredo Police to help you stay safe:

For Parents:

• Walk with Your Little Monsters: Don't let kids roam unsupervised, especially in dimly lit areas. It's always best to walk with them and keep a close eye on them.
• Stick to Well-Lit Streets: Avoid dark alleys or unlit areas. Choose well-lit streets and sidewalks, and be mindful of your surroundings.
• Set a Time Limit: Set a specific time for trick-or-treating and stick to it. This helps ensure kids are home before it gets too late and dark.
• Talk to Kids About Safety: Before heading out, have a conversation with kids about stranger danger and what to do if someone approaches them. Teach them to say "no" and to run to a trusted adult.
• Check Candy: It might sound like a no-brainer, but always check candy before letting your kids eat it. Look for any signs of tampering and dispose of any suspicious treats.

For Trick-or-Treaters:

• Wear Reflective Clothing: Bright, reflective clothing helps you stay visible, especially during the evening hours.
• Stay in Groups: Stick together with friends or family members. There's safety in numbers, especially if you're walking through unfamiliar areas.
• Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Pay attention to your surroundings and any unusual activity. If you feel unsafe, trust your instincts and remove yourself from the situation.
• Use Crosswalks: Always cross streets at designated crosswalks and look both ways before crossing.

Michael Myers, Stay Away!

Let's be honest, we all have that one friend who dresses up as Michael Myers every Halloween. But we need to remember that real-life scary situations aren't fun. Take precautions, stay alert, and make sure Halloween is a night of fun and excitement, not fear!

Remember, Laredo Police are committed to keeping everyone safe this Halloween. By following these tips, we can all enjoy a fun and spooky night while staying safe! Happy Halloween!
