A Safe Halloween is a Happy Halloween
Oct 13, 2021
The City of Cincinnati has designated Sunday, October 31, 2021, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Halloween trick-or-treating.
The Cincinnati Police Department wants to remind everyone that a safe Halloween is a happy Halloween! We ask that everyone please adhere to the hours established for trick-or-treating in our community.
Here are some safety tips to keep everyone safe this Halloween:
• An adult should always accompany young children while they are out trick-or-treating.
• Older kids who do not need an adult should always trick-or-treat in groups.
• Make sure you choose bright-colored costumes for your kids and give them things such as glow sticks or flashlights to use when the sun sets.
• Make sure you are using the sidewalk whenever possible and walking in well-lit areas.
• Teach your kids to never enter a stranger’s home.
• Always check your child’s candy before letting them consume any.
• If you are driving during Halloween, make sure you use extreme caution while on the roadways. Watch for excited children out trick-or-treating or those kids whose vision may be obstructed because of a costume.
