Kentucky State Police is reminding people to be take precautions while celebrating Halloween.
Kentucky State Police encourages drivers to slow down and give children extra time to cross the street. Police said children who are excited to be trick-or-treating often forget to stop, look and listen before crossing streets.
Police said drivers should be aware of children walking in the street, especially if there aren’t any sidewalks. Parents walking with children who are trick-or-treating should consider giving them a flashlight or glow stick so people can see them better. Police also recommends people put reflective tape on trick-or-treat bags.
Drivers leaving their homes on Halloween are encouraged to enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.
Children are recommended to stay in groups when trick-or-treating. Candy should not be consumed until it is brought home for examination. Homemade treats should be thrown out.
People who are welcoming trick-or-treaters to their home should turn on porch lights and provide ample outdoor lighting, along with eliminating tripping hazards.
