Halloween Safety Tips From Monrovia Police

Tips for a safer Halloween from Monrovia PD:

• Make sure your costume is easy to see. Light colors or reflective tape are good to use.
• Make sure that your costume is short enough so you won’t trip on it.
• Carry a flashlight so you can see and people can see you.
• Use make-up instead of a mask.
• Go with friends and/or parents. Don't go out alone.
• Cross only at corners and never cross the street between parked cars.
• Walk only on well-lit streets and stay on the sidewalks.
• Wait until you get home to sort, check and eat your candy. Check all of your treats and throw away things that are not wrapped
• Make sure you call the police if you see anything that doesn’t look safe.
