It’s that time of year again – Halloween! Candy, costumes, and spooky fun are just around the corner. But with all the excitement, it’s important to stay safe. The Laredo Police Department, along with a rather unexpected partner – Michael Myers – are here to share some tips to help you have a fun and safe Halloween.
Staying Safe on Halloween

Laredo Police Officer: “Michael makes a good point. Halloween is a time for fun, but it’s important to stay alert and take precautions. Here are some tips to help you and your family stay safe.”
- Walk with a group: Never go trick-or-treating alone, especially after dark. Stick with friends or family.
- Stay in well-lit areas: Avoid dark streets and alleys. Stick to sidewalks and areas where you can be seen.
- Be mindful of your surroundings: Look out for cars, pedestrians, and any suspicious activity. Trust your gut!
- Don’t eat candy from strangers: Only accept treats from people you know.
- Carry a flashlight or glow stick: This can help you see and be seen.
- Check your candy: Parents should check all candy before kids eat it. Make sure all wrappers are sealed and there are no signs of tampering.

Michael Myers: “See? Even a scary guy like me understands safety rules. It’s not just about avoiding monsters. It’s about staying aware and protecting yourselves."
Laredo Police Officer: “It's great to see Michael Myers take safety so seriously. Remember, Halloween should be a fun time for everyone. By following these simple tips, you can help keep yourself and your loved ones safe.”
