Laredo Police: Michael Myers is a Myth, but Halloween Safety is Real!

Halloween is a time for fun, costumes, and candy, but it's also important to stay safe. The Laredo Police Department wants to make sure everyone has a fun and safe Halloween, so we're debunking some myths and giving you some real tips to keep in mind.

No, Michael Myers Isn't Real (But Be Smart Anyway)

Let's get this out of the way: Michael Myers is a fictional character from a movie. No one is going to come after you on Halloween, trying to stab you with a kitchen knife. But that doesn't mean you should ignore safety precautions.

Stay Safe This Halloween

• Trick-or-treat with a buddy: It's always safer to go out with a friend or group. Keep an eye out for each other and make sure everyone is safe.
• Know your route: Stick to well-lit, familiar areas and avoid shortcuts through dark alleys.
• Be aware of your surroundings: Look around, not just at your phone. Be aware of who's nearby and what's happening around you.
• Don't go into strangers' homes: Stay on porches and sidewalks. If you ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe, leave and go to a trusted adult.
• Check your candy: Parents, make sure you inspect your kids' candy before they eat it.

It's All About Common Sense

Halloween safety is all about using your common sense and being aware of your surroundings. Even though Michael Myers isn't real, there are still risks out there. By following these simple tips, you can enjoy a fun and safe Halloween.

Happy Halloween from the Laredo Police Department!
