Check out this helpful list of safety reminders from LPD and have a very sPoOkY hALLoWeEN🎃👻🕷️🍫🍬

Halloween weekend is here, Lafayette! 🎃

And while we don't have official trick-or-treating hours in the city, we do have a few reminders to help everyone have a safe night tomorrow!

🍬 Planning to trick-or-treat? Stick to well-lit areas and only visit homes where you feel welcome.

🔦 Make yourself visible! Carry a flashlight, use reflective gear, and choose costumes that won't make it hard to see or walk.

🚗 Drivers, take it slow! Kids can be unpredictable, especially when there's candy involved. Watch for little ones crossing the street.

👻 Parents, know your kids' plans, who they're with, and when they should be home.

🧡 And most importantly, trust your gut. If something doesn't feel right, leave and find a trusted adult.

Have fun, look out for your neighbors, and stay safe out there, City of Lafayette!
