Halloween Safety Tips for Parents and Homeowners

We recently posted safety tips for trick-or-treaters here on the DC Metro Area Personal Injury Law Blog, but adults play a significant role in making Halloween safe, as well.  Following are some simple suggestions from the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) on making your home and neighborhood a safer place this Halloween evening:

  • "Welcome trick-or-treaters at home by turning on your exterior lights.
  • Remove objects from your yard that might present a hazard to visitors.
  • Ask your Neighborhood Watch or citizens' group to patrol the community.
  • Involve students from a local college or university to be "witch's helpers."  These students help trick-or-treaters cross busy streets and watch out for ghoulish behavior.
  • Drive slowly all evening -- you never know what creature may suddenly cross your path.
  • Report any suspicious or criminal activity to your local police or sheriff's department."
