Halloween will officially be celebrated on

Wednesday, October 31st. In keeping with the best aspects of the occasion, the Elgin Police Department asks parents to follow the following safety recommendations:

 

The recommended Trick or Treating hours are Wednesday, October 31st between 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

 

 

Young children should be accompanied by their parents or another responsible adult.

One member of each group should carry a lighted flashlight when it starts to get dark.

Make sure costumes do not limit mobility and have no visible obstructions.

Children should be dressed in LIGHT COLORED COSTUMES.

Always walk on the sidewalk and cross the street at intersections.

Bring candy and goodies home to inspect before eating any of them. Parents are urged to check all treats with extra caution.

We request that citizens period on October 31st. We ask that citizens only serve wrapped candy.

We ask that motorists be especially observant on Halloween and watch for costumed children who might not always be alert enough to be looking out for cars.

Parents are reminded to close and lock their car and garage doors, as to reduce the opportu-nity of theft and vandalism.

Again, we want to thank you in advance for assisting us on making this a safe and fun filled time for children of this community.
