🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃   As the spooky season approaches, we want to ensure everyone enjoys a fun and safe Halloween night. Whether you're out trick-or-treating with the kids or hosting friends and family, here are some important tips from the RCMP to keep in mind:   For Trick-or-Treaters & Parents: 1. Be Visible! Add reflective tape to kids' costumes and carry a flashlight to ensure you're seen. 2. Stay on the Sidewalks and always cross streets at corners or crosswalks. 3. Choose Safe Costumes – make sure masks allow clear vision, and costumes don't drag to avoid trips. 4. Stick Together – younger kids should always be with an adult, and older kids should go out in groups.   For Drivers: 1. Slow Down – Be extra cautious in residential areas and watch for little ghosts and goblins who may dart into the road. 2. Be Alert – Avoid distractions, especially during peak trick-or-treating hours (5:00-9:00 PM). 3. Yield to Pedestrians – Halloween brings increased foot traffic, so be prepared to stop at crosswalks.   Have a spooky yet safe Halloween! #Halloween #HalloweenSafety #Epscan

✨ Halloween Safety Tips ✨ (from your friendly neighborhood 911 dispatcher) - Make sure your children are visible while trick-or-treating. Reflective tape/vests and glow sticks are helpful! Trick-or-treat in well lit areas that are familiar to you and your children. - Make a safety plan with your children in the event you get separated from one another while trick-or-treating. I told my kids to go to the nearest street light and put their arm around the pole. Streetlights are easy to spot, well it, recognizable, and provide something for them to hold onto so they don't wander while you're looking for them. - Triple check the surroundings of your vehicle before reversing or driving, especially if your neighborhood gets a lot of trick-or-treaters. It can be helpful to have one person outside your vehicle watching your surroundings while you reverse. Pay close attention while driving on streets with lots of cars parked or lots of trees that make it harder to see the sidewalks. - Check your children's Halloween candy. You should be checking for anything homemade, choking hazards, discolored items, wrappers partially open, wrappers that have been taped/tampered with, or really anything out of the ordinary. When in doubt, throw it out! - Keep your home/property well lit, doors and windows locked, and vehicles locked. Halloween is a time of practical jokes, partying, and breaking and entering. Making sure your home and property are secure and well lit is one way to ensure a safe Halloween night. - In the event you need to call 911 tonight, the most important thing you need to know is where you are: pay attention to your surroundings, take notice of house numbers and landmarks, and enable emergency location services on your cell phone. I hope everyone enjoys a safe and happy Halloween night! 🎃 . . . What would you add to the list?? #Halloween #SafetyTips #Dispatch #SafetyFirst #TrickOrTreat
