This year, Trick-or-Treating within the City of Morrison has been designated for Monday, October 31, 2016; hours are 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The Morrison Police Department offers the following recommendations and safety tips to consider during Trick-or-Treating.
Parents are urged to accompany their children. Parents should also know their child’s routes, plans, and their companions. Parents are reminded that they are responsible for the behavior of their children.
Parents should instruct their children that Trick-or-Treating is allowed only at homes which have their lights on, inviting the children for a treat. Stay in your own neighborhood and visit only homes you know.
Wear light-colored clothing short enough to prevent tripping, and add reflective material.
Make sure your children can see well through any costume masks.
Go out in the daylight.
Carry a flashlight, and use glow sticks.
Watch for traffic when crossing streets. Use crosswalks.
Only give or accept wrapped or packaged candy. Examine your child’s candy before allowing them to eat it.
Please drive slowly, and stay alert.
If you should discover anything wrong or suspicious with the treats brought home, call the Police immediately.
The Morrison Police Department will provide additional officers and actively patrol during Trick-or-Treating, in an effort to provide a safe and enjoyable Halloween for everyone.
