Halloween Safety: A Message from Laredo Police & Myers
It’s that time of year again! The air is crisp, the leaves are falling, and the sweet smell of candy fills the air. It’s Halloween, and everyone's excited for costumes, trick-or-treating, and spooky fun. But with all the excitement, it’s important to remember safety.
The Laredo Police Department and Myers want to make sure you have a fun and safe Halloween. We’re here to remind everyone about some important safety tips to keep in mind:
Trick-or-Treating Safety
For those little goblins and ghosts:
- Stay with a responsible adult. Never go trick-or-treating alone, especially in unfamiliar areas.
- Wear bright clothing or reflective gear. Make sure your costume is visible to drivers, especially at night.
- Check your candy. Don’t eat candy that is not in its original wrapper.
- Be careful crossing the street. Look both ways, and use crosswalks whenever possible.
- Don't approach unfamiliar houses. Stick to well-lit areas with recognizable homes.
- Don’t touch anything at unknown homes. You never know what you might encounter, so stick to trick-or-treating at known locations.
Halloween Safety Tips for Everyone
- Be aware of your surroundings. Keep an eye out for potential hazards, like uneven sidewalks or loose objects.
- Drive cautiously. Be extra alert for pedestrians and trick-or-treaters.
- Keep your porch lights on. This helps make your home more visible to trick-or-treaters.
- Have fun, but be smart. Enjoy the festivities, but don't forget to be safe.
From the Laredo Police Department & Myers: Have a fun and safe Halloween! Remember, safety should always be top of mind, especially during the spooky season.
Have a great Halloween!
