Hello,
Here at American Canyon Police Department, we want to make sure your Halloween celebrations are spooky but safe!
Here are some important Halloween safety tips to keep in mind:
-
Costume Safety: Choose flame-resistant costumes that are easy to move in. Please make sure they are visible in low light. Ensure accessories like masks don't obstruct vision or breathing.
-
Trick-or-Treating: Stick to well-lit areas, use sidewalks, and cross the road at crosswalks. Be cautious of traffic.
-
Adult Supervision: Young children should always be with an adult. Older kids should go in groups and have a set curfew.
-
Candy Inspection: Examine all candy before eating it. Look for any signs of tampering or open wrappers.
-
Home Safety: Keep your home well-lit for trick-or-treaters. Remove tripping hazards from your porch and yard.
-
Pet Safety: Keep pets indoors or in a secure area to prevent them from getting frightened.
-
Driving Safety: Drive cautiously in residential areas on Halloween night. Watch out for children who may dart into the street.
-
Emergency Preparedness: Teach children their name, address, and phone number in case they get separated. Have a plan for contacting each other if needed.
Please stop by the Fire Station at 911 Donaldson Way East on Halloween night for a trick or treat. Stay safe, and have a spooktacular Halloween! If you have any questions or need more information, don't hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully,
Rick Greenberg
Chief of Police
