Halloween Safety Tips From RPD: Don't Climb In The Sewer

ROMEOVILLE, IL — "Don't climb into the sewers," Cmdr. Fetzer said at the end of a Halloween safety video the Romeoville Police Department made for the community. While they had a bit of fun with a few "It" references in the video, police are serious when it comes to following some safety tips for trick-or-treating.

The light-hearted video centers around a young girl who's demonstrating the right, and wrong, things to do. "Avoid wearing masks that cover your eyes," Cmdr. Fetzer says as the video shows a little ghost walking into a light pole.

The girl, now wearing a costume which allows her to see, mindlessly followed a red balloon into the road before stopping short to avoid being hit by an oncoming car. "Pay attention when crossing the street," Fetzer said.

If there's no porch light on, take that as a sign that the homeowner isn't participating in trick-or-treating.

Trick-or-treating hours are on Halloween from 4 to 7 p.m.
