New Haven police release Halloween safety tips

The New Haven Police Department reminded residents this week that the agency is committed to promoting Halloween safety and released tips that will help folks plan.

 

In addition to the tip sheet posted below (which you can download or print), the department noted that "Beyond the standard information, we are urging folks to be selective when it comes to opening their doors to trick-or-treaters. We’re reminding the public that trick-or-treating is largely a children’s activity and should not continue late into the evening. People need not open their doors to older teenagers – especially in groups and adults who aren’t accompanying children. Do not open your doors for those who are masked but not costumed."
to report suspicious people to police, call 203-946-6316 (in New Haven) or your local Police Department.
