            HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS

While Halloween is a cherished tradition for the nation's youth, the
excitement of the night can cause children to forget to be careful.  There is
no real "trick" to making Halloween a real treat for the entire family.

Motorists:
--- Enter and exit driveways and alleyways carefully.
--- Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs.

Before they go, parents should make sure that:
--- Children travel only in familiar areas and along an established route.
--- Children know to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are well
     lit and never to enter a stranger's home or car.
--- Children carry a flashlight to light the way.
--- Children know not to eat any treats until an Adult at home checks them.
--- A parent or trusted adult stays with the children.  Inform the adult
leader
    of any health problems or fears that your child may have.  Give the
leader a
    telephone where you can be reached.  Give your child change to use the
    telephone, if necessary.

Costume Design:
--- Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider make-up and decorative
    hats as alternatives.
--- Keep costumes short in length to prevent trips, falls and other
    bumps-in-the-night.
--- When shopping for a costume, wig and accessories, look for labels to
    indicate that they are flame resistant.

Home Owners:
--- Shrubs and bushes are trimmed so there is no place for someone to hide.
--- There are no dark areas around your house, garage, or yard at night that
     would hide prowlers.
--- Outdoor lights are on in the evening, whether someone is at home or not,
or a
    photocell or motion-sensitive lighting system has been installed.
--- Take efforts to eliminate tripping hazards on your porch and around your
    property.

Notify law enforcement authorities of any suspicious or unlawful activities.

Have a great Time!!!!!!!!!
Lt. Carter
