We had a wonderful turnout yesterday at our Halloween event at the Sheriff's Office. We had a great time interacting with all the kids and we hope everyone had a great time! With good weather forecasted for Saturday evening, we expect neighborhoods across the county will be packed with kids.

Here are some safety tips for everyone this Halloween season:

Safety Tips for Drivers
#1: Be alert for trick-or-treaters and other pedestrians.
#2: Slow down and scan the road ahead.
#3: Watch for young trick-or-treaters in unexpected places. Children will be excited may be unaware of traffic and dart into the street unexpectedly.
#4: If you attend a party and consume alcohol, have a plan in place or a designated driver to get you home. If motorist sees an impaired driver, contact law enforcement.

Safety Tips for Pedestrians
#5: Before festivities begin, create a “buddy system” to get each other home safely and prevent walking alone. Parents should accompany trick-or-treaters.
#6: Follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals.
#7: If possible, cross streets at crosswalks or intersections. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right.
#8: Try to wear clothing or costumes that have some type of reflective material or carry flashlights or glow sticks to increase visibility to help light the way.
#9: Parents should inspect candy before consumption and discard any that is not wrapped.

We hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween!!!
