The Toronto Police Service would like to take this opportunity to remind parents, caregivers, children and motorists that every effort should be made to keep Halloween a safe and enjoyable occasion.

Here are some general safety tips:

- consider dressing your child in a light-coloured costume. Reflective tape or armbands placed on the costume can help increase visibility. Carrying a small flashlight to light the way between houses is a good idea and helps make children more visible on dark residential streets

- if your child will be wearing a mask, increase the eye openings to improve vision. Consider the use of makeup as an alternative to wearing a mask

- prior to Halloween, ensure the costume is the proper length to reduce the risk of tripping. Do not allow your child to ride a bicycle while in costume; it could become tangled in the chain or spokes. If the costume is purchased, ensure it is made of flame-retardant material

- ensure children have something to eat before they begin to Trick or Treat. It’s very important that no treats are consumed until they have been carefully inspected by an adult

- young children should be accompanied by an adult. Older children should be encouraged to go out in groups, stay together and utilize the “buddy system”

- approach only lit houses

- discuss with your children the route they will be travelling and what time they are required to return home. They should stay in familiar neighbourhoods

- Trick or Treat along one side of the street, then cross over carefully to the other side. Avoid running back and forth across the street

- Attention drivers! Children will be very excited and their actions could be sudden and unpredictable. Exercise caution and slow down.

- Homeowners! Make sure your yard is clear and safe. Please ensure pets are in a safe place so no harm will come to them or the children

Let's all have a safe and happy Halloween.
