Kids all across our listening area will be out trick or treating tonight – even if it’s raining cats and dog.
Joining them will be Smiths Falls Police and the OPP to help make sure the night goes safely for all involved.
Smiths Falls Constable Sean Keogan has a few safety tips everyone should remember.
When it comes to costumes, Keogan says parents have to make sure they look good and can be seen.
He also says making sure they fit correctly reduces trip hazards.
The Constable says it’s also very important to know where your little trick or treaters are at all times.
Bringing a flashlight with you for those darker streets is also a good idea.
Keogan says the kids will be everywhere, so drivers take note.
Keeping speeds to a crawl on residential streets is a good way to ensure reaction time isn’t challenged.
In the end, Constable Keogan says its all about being safe, so everyone can have a great, fun night.
