Halloween Safety Tips

As Halloween approaches, the Camp Hill Police Department wants to ensure a safe and enjoyable trick-or-treating experience for all. Here are some essential safety tips to keep in mind:

• Plan Ahead: Accompany children while trick-or-treating, especially if they are under 12 years old.
• Stay Visible: Use reflective tape or glow sticks on costumes to increase visibility in low-light conditions.
• Choose Safe Routes: Stick to well-lit streets and avoid dark or isolated areas.
• Check Candy: Inspect all treats before allowing children to eat them. Discard any open, tampered with, or homemade items.
• Stay in Groups: Trick-or-treat in groups, and make sure children know how to call 911 or find a trusted adult if needed.
• Be Cautious of Traffic: Remind children to look both ways before crossing streets and to use crosswalks when available.

By following these simple safety tips, you can help ensure a fun and safe Halloween for everyone. Happy trick-or-treating!

If you have any concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Camp Hill Police Department.
