Birmingham police are encouraging parents to bring their children for treats while supplies last.
In addition, BPD also warns of safety tips for hobbyists as they embark on their candy-seeking trips
Here are some safety tips while you’re out and about:
- Never enter the home or car for a treat.
- Restrain pets so they don’t jump on or bite the trick or treat.
- Go to homes with only the porch light on and ideally a well-lit path.
- Join kids 12 and under for trick or treating. If children are old enough to be outside unsupervised, tell them to stick to well-lit, familiar areas and play in groups.
- Have children carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers.
- Discuss with the children how to call 9-1-1 (or their local emergency number) if they ever have an emergency or become lost or tend to wander. See Help prevent your child from going missing for tips.
- Cross the street at corners using traffic signals and crosswalks. Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross.
- Driver! Reduce speed and watch out for pedestrians.
