Halloween Safety Tips for Adults and Children

  1. Stay Visible: Be sure to equip your child’s costume with reflective tape or glow sticks. Dark streets and poorly lit areas can be dangerous, so staying visible to drivers is key.

  2. Travel in Groups: Stick together when trick-or-treating. There’s safety in numbers, and it's much more fun for the kids to enjoy Halloween with friends.

  3. Check Treats Before Eating: Remind kids not to eat any treats until they get home. Check for any signs of tampering, especially for homemade goodies from unfamiliar sources.

  4. Use Crosswalks: Always cross the street at designated crosswalks, and be sure to look both ways before stepping onto the road, especially in busy neighborhoods.


Be Aware of Local Dangers

While Halloween is meant to be fun, it's always important to stay aware of any strange or dangerous happenings in the area. If you live in Central Texas, here are a few things to be cautious of:

  • Watch for Suspicious Behavior: With increased foot traffic and costumes making it easier to conceal identities, keep an eye out for any suspicious or concerning activity.

  • Stranger Danger: Encourage your kids to only visit houses that are well-lit and to avoid taking shortcuts through alleys or dark areas.

  • Traffic Safety: Halloween means more pedestrians on the streets, so drivers should slow down, especially in residential areas.
