Parents, we know the real horror stories: the costume that falls apart at 5:55, the great candy negotiations, and bedtime on a full tank of sugar. We can’t help with those. We can help with the rest.

Trick-or-treating in Youngsville runs tonight from 6 to 8 p.m.

Dark costumes are spooky. Invisible kids are scarier. Add reflective tape, glow sticks, or a flashlight.

Little monsters stay with a grown-up. Bigger ones travel in packs, with a set route and a check-in time.

A dark porch means no treats. Stick to lit homes, use sidewalks, and cross at corners.

Inspect every haul before anyone digs in. The candy tax is between you and your kids.

Zombies shuffle. Kids dart. Drivers, slow down in neighborhoods, take extra care entering and leaving subdivisions, and put the phone down.

Handing out candy? Keep walkways clear and use LED candles. The only thing that should trip anyone up tonight is your best jump scare.

Grown-up ghouls headed to a party: plan a sober ride home.

If something seems more sinister than spooky, call 911 in an emergency or YPD at (337) 856-5931.

From all of us at YPD, have a safe and spooky Halloween!

Today, all of us at the Youngsville Police Department honor the police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and dispatchers who answer when our community calls.

Emergencies don’t stop for nights, weekends, or holidays, and neither do the people who respond to them. They show up through storms and high water, at crash scenes and house fires, and in some of the hardest moments of people’s lives. Then they come back and do it again the next shift.

To our officers and staff, and to every first responder who serves alongside us: thank you. To their families: your sacrifice makes their service possible.

Protecting Our Community
The Youngsville Police Department will not stop. Not today, not ever.

The Youngsville Police Department is proud to serve as a partner agency in Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s expanded Louisiana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

Housed under the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation ICAC Unit, the task force targets online child exploitation, investigates tips related to child sexual abuse, and combats human trafficking. It is part of a nationwide network of ICAC Task Forces that share information, resources, and expertise to investigate, prosecute, and deter the sexual exploitation of children.

Protecting children does not end at our city limits, and neither does our commitment. Through this partnership, YPD will continue working alongside state and national partners to identify those who prey on children and hold them accountable.

Parents and guardians, talk with your children about online safety, know the apps they use, and keep the conversation open. If you have information about the exploitation of a child, contact the Youngsville Police Department at 337-856-5931 or report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s CyberTipline at 1-800-843-5678 or CyberTipline.org.

Thank you, Youngsville, for coming out to National Night Out on Tuesday, October 6th.

From the Acadian Air Med helicopter to the fire, rescue, and heavy equipment displays, it was a great evening of families, neighbors, and first responders spending time together. We are especially grateful to the veterans who joined us and to every partner agency, vendors and who helped make the night possible.

National Night Out is about more than one evening. It is about the relationships that keep our community safe all year long. When neighbors know their officers and officers know their neighbors, Youngsville is stronger for it.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello, and shared the evening with us. We will see you next year.
