The clocks have fallen back, and that means darker evening commutes are here.

As Daylight Saving Time comes to an end, we want to remind drivers to use extra caution as it begins getting darker earlier. Keep an eye out for pedestrians and cyclists, slow down in neighborhoods and make sure your headlights are on when visibility is reduced.

Pedestrians can help stay visible by using sidewalks and crosswalks when available and wearing bright or reflective clothing when walking after dark.

A little extra awareness can help keep everyone safe as we adjust to the time change.

No tricks here, just wishing you all a Happy Halloween!

We’ve loved seeing all the costumes, creativity, and smiling faces at events throughout our community this fall. Whether you’re trick-or-treating, passing out candy, or enjoying the night at home, we hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween.

And as always, parents, give that candy one last check before the kids dig in. We know they’re already asking.

10/30/2026

The Gwinnett County Police encourages parents to speak with their children about making safe and responsible decisions as Halloween events take place throughout the county tomorrow. Parents should know where their children are going, who they will be with, and what type of event they are attending. Large, unsupervised gatherings can quickly become dangerous when reckless behavior occurs.

Running and screaming through crowds, intentionally causing panic, fighting, damaging property, blocking roadways, and refusing to follow instructions from law enforcement are not harmless pranks. These actions can lead to injuries, criminal charges, and dangerous situations for everyone involved.

If your child plans to attend Halloween events, keep these safety tips in mind:

•Know the plan: Know where your child is going, who they are with, and when they will be home.
•Stay connected: Make sure their phone is charged and they have a way to contact you.
•Have a meeting location: Establish a safe place to meet if they become separated from friends or need to be picked up.
•Listen to law enforcement: Remind your children to follow officers' instructions, especially when directed to leave an area or disperse for safety reasons.
•Make smart choices: Encourage them to avoid fights, disruptive crowds, and reckless behavior, even when others are participating.

Halloween should be a fun and safe night for everyone. We encourage parents to help their children understand the consequences of their actions and recognize when to walk away from unsafe situations.

Let's work together to keep Halloween safe for everyone!

Did you know? If you come across a traffic signal that is completely out, you can report it to our department through our non-emergency number at 770.513.5700.

Remember, an intersection where a traffic signal is completely dark should be treated as a four-way stop. Slow down, come to a complete stop, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

When you call 911, every question has a purpose.

Dispatchers may ask for your location, what happened, who is involved, and other details while help is already being coordinated.

Stay on the line, answer questions as clearly as you can, and follow the dispatcher’s instructions. The information you provide can help officers and other first responders know what they’re walking into before they arrive.

In an emergency, those few minutes on the phone matter.

Technology is changing quickly, and unfortunately, scammers are changing with it. AI can now create convincing voices, photos, videos, and messages that may appear to come from someone you know and trust.

The Gwinnett County Office of Emergency Management wants residents to know that taking a few simple precautions can help protect you and your personal information from AI-powered scams.

The good news? A few simple steps can help you stay one step ahead.

If you receive an unexpected or unusual message:
• Take a moment before responding
• Be cautious of urgent requests for money or personal information
• Don’t share passwords or verification codes
• Contact the person directly using a phone number you already know
• Ask a question that only the real person would know
• Consider creating a family “safe word” for emergencies

Even if a voice sounds familiar or a photo looks real, it’s always okay to double-check.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic violence can happen behind closed doors, but it should never be ignored. It can take many forms, including physical violence, threats, intimidation, stalking, and controlling behavior.

Throughout this month, we encourage you to learn the signs, check in on the people they care about, and know that help is available.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. Support and resources are also available through local and national organizations for those experiencing domestic violence.

Awareness can start with recognizing when something isn’t right.
