The Arlington Heights Police Department provides the following safety tips to keep in mind during Halloween 2019.

• Younger ‘trick-or-treaters’ should always be accompanied by an adult. Establish neighborhood boundaries and a curfew for older family members.
• Inspect all treats before eating them.
• Costumes should be flame resistant, made of bright or reflective material that does not impede the child’s ability to walk.
• Masks that interfere with a child’s ability to see can be very dangerous, please make sure that your child can clearly see side to side.
• Cross a street at the corner, preferably in a marked crosswalk. Use a flashlight to increase visibility.
• Unfortunately, some interpret Halloween as a night of mischief. Parents are asked to review acceptable behavior with their children. Know the route your children are taking.
• Take a moment to examine your property for hazards. Remove any unsecured implements that may cause a child to trip and fall.
