Halloween safety tips from Placer County Sheriff's Office
Tips urge parental supervision and group trick or treating, daylight hours, visible costumes, reflective tape, and flashlight use. Advice covers crossing streets at corners, avoiding crossing between cars, planning routes, staying on well lit streets, informing family of locations, walking facing traffic, and waiting to sort and eat treats at home.
