Laredo Police Halloween Safety: Michael Myers' Message (and it's not "Boo!")
Halloween is right around the corner, and for many of us, that means dressing up in our spookiest costumes, grabbing some candy, and heading out to trick-or-treat. But before you grab your witch hat or Frankenstein mask, let's talk safety.
The Laredo Police Department wants everyone to have a fun and safe Halloween, so they've partnered up with a special guest to spread the word: Michael Myers!
No, not THAT Michael Myers. This Michael Myers is a friendly, family-friendly version, ready to deliver some important Halloween safety tips. And yes, he's totally into safe trick-or-treating. He's all about having a good time, and that means being safe!
Michael Myers' Top Halloween Safety Tips:
(You know, just like the ones your mom tells you!)
- Be seen: Wear bright, reflective clothing or costumes so drivers can see you easily. It's spooky to be seen, but not so spooky to be safe!
- Stay together: Don't let anyone wander off alone, even for a minute. Stick with a responsible adult or group of friends. Halloween is a great time to be social!
- Know your route: Plan your trick-or-treating route and stick to it. If you need to cross the street, always use crosswalks and look both ways for traffic. It's not scary to be safe!
- Beware of treats: Only accept candy from homes that you recognize. Don't eat anything before showing it to a trusted adult. Trust me, you'll be grateful later.
- Use common sense: Avoid going into dark or isolated areas. Pay attention to your surroundings and report any suspicious activity. It's never fun to be scared, so be vigilant!
It's not all scary! Halloween can be fun, safe, and memorable.
So, this Halloween, follow Michael Myers' safety advice, and have a truly spooktacular night! You can thank us (and Michael!) later.
Remember: The Laredo Police Department is always here to help. If you see anything suspicious, don't hesitate to call 911.
Happy Halloween!
