Adult SupervisionMake sure a trusted adult or trusted older teen-ager accompanies children, especially younger children, when “Trick or Treating”.

Safety in NumbersFor kids that are old enough to Trick or Treat without an adult, remember to always travel with a group and to stay in well lit areas - avoiding short-cuts through alleys and empty parking lots.

Trick or Treat in familiar neighborhoodsBe familiar with the homes and neighborhoods where you “Trick or Treat”. It’s a good practice to only visit houses that have their inside and porch lights on. It’s also a good practice to focus on homes that have Halloween decorations on the porch.

Stay On the PorchWhen “Trick or Treating” never enter someone’s house. Be sure to stay on the porch when receiving candy.

Remain Visible After DarkDress in a bright costume, wear reflective clothing/strips or carry a flashlight or glow stick when “Trick or Treating” after dusk.

Safe CostumesMake sure that costumes aren’t too long and that children can walk freely without tripping or falling. For masks that cover the face, make sure that the wearer can see and breathe properly. Costumes should be clearly marked as flame resistant.

13 Halloween Safety Tips

Face paintsMake certain that any face paint or make-up used on skin or costumes is non-toxic.

Always check the treats before you eatHold off on eating candy while trick or treating. An adult should always check the candy first. Throw out any candy that is not in its original wrapper or looks like it has been tampered with.

IdentificationEmergency identification information should be placed discreetly inside clothing of small children, in case of accidental separation. Avoid having children wear their names outwardly on clothing or jewelry which may allow a stranger to call them by name and appear to know them.

Visit local events in your areaConsider organizing or attending parties at home, in schools or in recreation/community centers as an alternative to “Trick or Treating”.

Say No To StrangersNever accept a ride or go anywhere with a stranger.

Obey The LawMake sure to follow all of the normal traffic safety rules when “Trick or Treating”. That includes looking both ways before crossing, obeying all traffic laws and using cross walks and crossing lights where available.

Have a great time Have tons of fun and get lots of candy and treats!
