For people celebrating the Halloween holiday, trick-or-treating is a staple. As families venture out into their neighborhoods, strolling the streets for their treats, several local law enforcement agencies give some reminders and offer tips to keep everyone safe.
The Sparks Police Department, in an online post, says trick-or-treaters should bring a flashlight or glowsticks, stick to the sidewalks, cross all streets carefully, and stay alert for passing cars.
In another online post, the Truckee Police Department reminded children to stick with their parents and to never get into a stranger's car.
Truckee Police reminded drivers to stay alert, stay off their phones, and to immediately report anyone suspected of driving impaired.
The Washoe County Sheriff's office recommended people wear reflective gear to be more visible while walking on the streets.
All agencies wish everyone a fun and safe night of festivities, but remind everyone to be aware of their surroundings, so everyone can have a safe Halloween.
