🎃👻 TRICK-OR-TREAT SAFETY TIPS! 👻🎃

West Jefferson, tonight is the night! Trick-or-treat hours are 5:30–7:30 PM! As our little ghosts, goblins, and superheroes hit the streets, the West Jefferson Police Department wants everyone to have a fun and SAFE evening.

🚗 DRIVER SAFETY TIPS
• SLOW DOWN! Reduce your speed and be extra cautious in residential neighborhoods.
• PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY. Avoid distractions and keep your eyes on the road.
• WATCH FOR CHILDREN. Trick-or-treaters may dart into the street unexpectedly or appear between parked cars.
• USE EXTRA CAUTION AT INTERSECTIONS. Watch for children crossing the street and obey all traffic signs and signals.
• CHECK BEFORE BACKING UP. Look carefully before backing out of driveways or parking spaces.
• TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS. Help other drivers and trick-or-treaters see you.

🍬 TRICK-OR-TREATER SAFETY TIPS
• STAY ON THE SIDEWALK.
• CROSS SAFELY. Use crosswalks and intersections whenever possible. Look both ways and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
• BE VISIBLE. Carry a flashlight or glow stick and add reflective tape to costumes and treat bags.
• WATCH YOUR COSTUME. Make sure costumes fit properly and masks don’t block your vision.
• STICK TOGETHER. Young children should always be accompanied by a responsible adult. Older children should travel in groups.
• VISIT WELL-LIT HOMES. Only approach homes with their porch lights on, and never enter a stranger’s home or vehicle.
• INSPECT YOUR TREATS. Wait until you get home and have an adult check your candy before eating it.

🧡 A LITTLE EXTRA KINDNESS GOES A LONG WAY!
Please be patient, watch out for our youngest community members, and help make tonight a safe and memorable evening for everyone.

📅 TRICK-OR-TREAT TONIGHT

Today, we were happy to welcome Meghan Feldman from the McDonald’s Community Outreach Team to the West Jefferson Police Department!

McDonald’s generously donated gift cards for this year’s Shop with a Cop event, helping make the holiday season a little more special for the children selected to participate.

Shop with a Cop gives local children the opportunity to experience the joy of giving, spend time with local first responders, build positive relationships, and enjoy the Christmas season in a memorable way.

We’re grateful for McDonald’s continued support of our community and their involvement in events throughout the year. Their team was also a big part of our recent Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat, and we appreciate their willingness to step up and support our community.

Thank you, Meghan and the entire McDonald’s team, for helping us make a difference! Special thank you to Ofc. Hiles for coordinating this year’s event planning.🎄🚔❤️

We’re incredibly proud of this team and grateful for their continued dedication, perseverance, and determination to overcome adversity. Their hard work is a testament to the bond they share and their commitment to serving West Jeff.
