🎃 DON’T BE A DUMMY THIS HALLOWEEN! 🚔

Our officers are here to remind you that while costumes are fun, making bad decisions behind the wheel is downright scary! 💀

If you’re celebrating Halloween this weekend, keep these tips in mind:

🍻 Buzzed driving is impaired driving. If you’re drinking, plan for a sober ride home. Don’t turn a night of fun into a real-life horror story.

🚶 Watch for pedestrians! Trick-or-treaters, families and partygoers may be out after dark. Slow down, stay alert and keep an eye out for people crossing the road.

📵 Eyes up, phones down. Distracted driving is a fright no one needs.

🚗 Drive like someone’s life depends on it. Because it does.

Have fun, celebrate responsibly and help keep our roads safe this Halloween!

From all of us at Perry Township Police Department, have a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃👻

🎃👻 HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FROM PERRY TOWNSHIP POLICE! 👻🎃

Halloween is all about costumes, candy, and fun, but let’s make sure everyone gets home safely! 🍬

Before heading out for trick-or-treating, keep these safety tips in mind:

✨ BE VISIBLE! Carry a flashlight or glow stick, wear reflective clothing, or add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags so drivers can see you.

🚗 WATCH FOR CARS! Look both ways before crossing the street, use crosswalks whenever possible, and never dart between parked cars. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing, and remember that costumes and masks can limit your vision.

👨‍👩‍👧 TRICK-OR-TREAT WITH A PLAN! Younger children should always have a trusted adult with them. Older kids going out with friends should have a planned route, a set curfew, a charged cell phone, and a designated check-in time.

🚔 KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR OUR OFFICERS! Our officers will be out in the community, including handing out candy!

🧡 LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER! Drivers, slow down in residential neighborhoods, watch for children near roadways, and stay extra alert during trick-or-treat hours.

From all of us at Perry Township Police Department, have a safe, happy, and spooktacular Halloween! 🎃👻

Service Above Self. 💙💛

⚠ ATTENTION PERRY TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS: Please review this scam alert shared by the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office to stay informed and protect yourself from potential scams.

SCAM ALERT

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is warning the public about an ongoing scam targeting family members, relatives, and friends of individuals who have recently been arrested and incarcerated in the Franklin County Jail.

In these cases, scammers typically contact victims by phone, falsely claiming they can arrange for the release of a loved one. They may promise placement into a diversion program, probation, or electronic monitoring (such as an ankle bracelet) in exchange for immediate payment. The caller often pressures the victim to act quickly, creating a sense of urgency and fear.

Scammers commonly request payment in the form of gift cards, prepaid debit cards, wire transfers, or other non-traceable methods. In some instances, they may also attempt to obtain sensitive financial information, including bank account or credit card details.

These individuals frequently impersonate law enforcement personnel, employees of the Sheriff’s Office, court officials, or other government representatives. They may use publicly available arrest information, such as online court records, to make their claims appear legitimate and convincing.

Important reminders:

• The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and other government agencies will never call to request payment in exchange for the release of an individual from jail.
• Legitimate fines, bonds, or fees are handled through official channels and are never collected via gift cards or unsolicited phone calls.
• Requests for secrecy, urgency, or unusual payment methods are strong indicators of a scam.
If you receive one of these calls:
• Hang up immediately.
• Do not provide money or personal/financial information.
• Verify the status of your loved one by contacting the jail or court directly using official phone numbers.
• Report the incident to your local law enforcement agency.
Staying informed and cautious can help protect you and others from becoming victims of these scams.
