  • Check all treats to ensure they are sealed and do not have any foreign objects.
  • Carry a flashlight and wear reflective clothing.
  • Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame.
  • Light up the house at night. If a sword, cane or stick is a part of your child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or long.
  • If you have a security camera, make sure it's pointed at the front door.
  • Always check through your peephole before opening the door.
  • Bring a cell phone in case of an emergency.
  • Young children, excited about the night of trick-or-treating, should be supervised by a responsible adult.
