Fishers Police Chief Mitch Thompson has announced Trick-or-Treat hours for Halloween. Trick-or-Treat hours will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
Chief Thompson offers the following safety tips for Halloween:
- Give and accept wrapped or packaged candy only.
- Only go to houses where you know the owner.
- Have children bring treats home for adult inspection before they are eaten.
- A parent or adult should accompany children when they are trick-or-treating.
- Carry a flashlight.
- Stay within your neighborhood; only visit homes you know.
- Use make-up or face paint instead of masks. If masks are used, make sure the child has good visibility.
- Choose costumes that are flame retardant.
- Wear light-colored clothing, short enough to prevent tripping. Add reflective tape to dark colored costumes.
- Watch for vehicle traffic and use caution when crossing the street.
- Police cars will be patrolling the neighborhoods to ensure everyone’s safety. If you see or find anything suspicious, please immediately call 911.
