Grant County Sheriff’s Office provides trick-or-treating safety tips
The Grant County Sheriff’s Office took to social media this week and offered some safety tips for Halloween trick-or-treating:
Carry a cell phone for quick communication.
Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. If no sidewalk is available, walk at the far edge of the road facing traffic.
Never enter a home or car for a treat.
Always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds.
Only go to homes with a porch light on and, ideally, a well-lit pathway.
Never cross between parked cars or out of driveways.
Stay in a group and communicate where they will be going.
The sheriff’s office also recommends that parents remind their children how to call 9-1-1 if they ever have an emergency.
