Remington Police wishes you a SAFE Halloween!

• Children should walk on the sidewalks, not on the street.

• Children should trick-or-treat during daylight hours.

• Children should never eat any treats until they have been examined.

• All fruit should be cut and closely examined before eating.

• Children should never accept rides from strangers.

• Children should never take shortcuts through backyards or alleys.

• Set a specific time limit for your children to be out on Halloween night.

• Instruct children not to stray from their group.

• Instruct your children to stay in their own neighborhood and trick or treat at homes that have porch lights on.

• Children should wear costumes made of light colored material. If the costume is made of dark material, attach reflective tape to the costume to increase nighttime visibility.

• Masks can restrict vision. If your child wears a mask, make sure he or she removes it before crossing the street.
