(Oct. 29, 2016, 8:25 a.m.) -- Diversified Threat Management (DTM) focuses on Halloween in its Security Tip of the Week, and LBPD has separately issued safety tips below.
DTM's Security Tip of the Week (re Halloween) can be viewed at this link.
LBPD's tips are below:
[LBPD text] Be sure your child's activities are age-appropriate
All children should be accompanied by an adult
Only visit homes that are well-lighted and never go into a stranger's house
Stay on the sidewalk and only cross at corners
Stay in well populated areas and never cut through alleys or parks after dark
Apply reflective tape to your child's costume or use glow sticks for better visibility
Use face paint rather than masks that may block your child's vision
Map out your route ahead of time and carry a flashlight with you
Ensure props (pitchforks, swords, etc.) do not have sharp edges
Be cautious of dogs on the loose and keep your pet(s) indoors
Inspect your child's candy before allowing them to eat it
Report any suspicious or illegal activity by calling 9-1-1 immediately
Motorists are advised to be extra cautious on Halloween night and to drive slowly
Do not drink and drive; plan ahead and designate a driver or call for a ride.
Reminder: The curfew law in Long Beach prohibits anyone 17-years-old or younger from being out past 10:00 p.m. without a parent/guardian, unless going to or returning home from work or an organized event supervised by an adult, without any detour or stop.
