As Halloween approaches, the Cobourg Police Service (CPS) reminds everyone to plan for a safe night. CPS members will be out in the community conducting neighbourhood patrols as mini-costumed goblins and ghouls make their way around the Town of Cobourg on Halloween night.
Before you head out to trick or treat, here are some reminders to ensure a safe and memorable time with friends and family:
• Ensure costumes fit well to avoid tripping.
• Wear light colours or add reflective tape/glow sticks for visibility.
• Use face paint instead of masks to avoid vision impairment.
• Stick to sidewalks and look before crossing the street.
• Plan a route and return time for older kids trick-or-treating alone.
• Check all treats before eating and discard homemade or open items.
Drivers, slow down, stay alert, and watch for kids.
