Halloween safety tips from the St. Paul RCMP
The St. Paul RCMP would like to take the time to remind everyone to have a safe and happy Halloween. In doing so we would like everyone to be aware of the following safety tips;
-
Wear bright costumes with reflective tape or glow sticks.
-
Wear face paint instead of masks as masks have the ability to impair your visions and hearing
-
Wear properly fitted costumes and footwear
-
If your costume has weapons make sure it is obvious that they are fake
-
Carry a flashlight
-
Be accompanied by a trusted adult
-
Carry a cell phone if you are unaccompanied by an adult
-
Travel in groups if you are unsupervised
-
Always walk on sidewalks
-
Stay on one side of the street then safely cross the street to the houses on the other side. Do not crisscross back- and-forth.
-
Stay in well-lit areas
-
Plan a route and stick to it. Do not take shortcuts.
-
Never enter a strangers’s house or vehicle
-
Never eat treats that have not been inspected by an adult.
-
Know the places along the route where it is safe to go for help.
-
Have fun.
Sgt. Graham of the St. Paul RCMP added “We will be out patrolling on Halloween, to help ensure that everyone has a fun and safe night, with any luck the weather will cooperate”.
