Trick-or-Treat with Coquitlam RCMP: Making Halloween Safe and Fun

Halloween is right around the corner, and that means it's time to get your costumes ready and hit the streets for some spooky fun! But before you grab your candy bucket and head out, it's important to remember safety first. That's where the Coquitlam RCMP comes in, making sure Halloween is a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Keeping Kids Safe on Halloween

The Coquitlam RCMP knows how excited kids get on Halloween, but they also understand the importance of staying safe. Here's what they recommend:

• Walk in groups: Don't let kids wander off alone, especially in the dark. A group of friends or family members makes it easier to keep an eye on everyone and provides a sense of security.
• Stick to well-lit areas: Avoid dark or isolated streets, and try to stick to familiar neighbourhoods. It's much safer to be in areas with streetlights and other people around.
• Carry a flashlight: Even with streetlights, a flashlight can help you see where you're going and be more visible to drivers.
• Talk to your kids: Make sure they know how to cross the street safely, and don't talk to strangers.

RCMP Presence on Halloween Night

To make Halloween even safer, the Coquitlam RCMP will be increasing patrols throughout the city on Halloween night. You might even see an RCMP officer or two in costume! They'll be on hand to answer any questions you have about staying safe, as well as keep an eye out for any suspicious activity.

Tips for Adults:

And for adults, the RCMP has some tips to make Halloween a success:

• Keep your porch lights on: This will help to illuminate your home and make it more inviting for trick-or-treaters.
• Check your candy: Before handing out candy, take a moment to check it for any signs of tampering.
• Be mindful of your surroundings: If you see anything suspicious, don't hesitate to report it to the police.

Let's make Halloween a Spooktacular Success!

So grab your costume, get your candy bucket ready, and get ready for a night of fun! Remember, the Coquitlam RCMP is here to keep you safe, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
