  3. Treats • Do not eat anything you receive while Trick-or-Treating until it is checked by an adult • Food may be contaminated • Allergies • Candy Checks • Carefully check all candy received as soon as the Trick-or-Treaters arrive home • Remove all tampered, old, and “funny looking” candy • Hospitals and Police Stations will check candy for FREE • Bring your own candy to eat while Trick-or-Treating

  4. Don’t Take Candy From This Person…

  5. Costume Materials • FLAME RESISTANT MATERIALS!! • $ 2.99 Costumes = NO!! • As a general rule, the cheaper the costume the less flame resistant it will be. • Rayon and Synthetic Costumes

  6. Costume Design • Trim costumes with reflective tape • Carry flashlights (glow sticks, flaming skulls, light sabers, etc.) • Costumes should be short enough to prevent children from tripping and falling • Wear well-fitting, sturdy shoes

  7. Costume Design • Masks should fit! • Using face paint or make-up whenever possible is a great alternative • Swords, knives, and similar costumeaccessories shouldbe of soft and flexible material

  8. Houses to Trick-or-Treat • An ADULT should always accompany children • Don’t talk to strangers • Children should go only to homes where the residents are known • Only visit houses with outside lights ON • Never, ever go inside to collect candy

  9. Welcoming Trick-or-Treaters • Move Halloween decorations from the walkway • Make sure to have lights ON • Place battery operated lights in Jack-O-Lanterns to avoid fire hazard • Keep sugar free and peanut free candy on hand

  10. Pedestrian Safety MOST IMPORTANT! • Always have an adult or guardian present • Walk on the side-walk – never in the street! • Go in the late afternoon or at night – avoid sunset

  11. Pedestrian Safety • Avoid walking between parked cars • While driving – WATCH FOR CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING – they really blend in while in costume!

  12. Can You Find the Kid? – they may blend into the decor

  13. Tips On How To Stay Safe • Be aware of your surroundings, plan where you're going and how you're going to get there. • Walk facing oncoming traffic. • Avoid underpasses or shortcuts unless the lighting is good and you're confident they're safe.

  14. And Finally... • Don't hitchhike or accept rides with casual acquaintances or strangers. • If you think you're being followed on foot, cross a road and keep walking towards a well lit area. • Don't be afraid to ask for help. • Be alert and observant.

  15. Even More Tips... • Stick to busy, well-lit places. • Carry a cell phone with useful numbers programmed for quick dialing. • Let other people know where you're going - if you change your plans remember to let them know.
