Michael Myers and Laredo Police Share Halloween Safety Tips
Halloween is just around the corner, and while many are excited for costumes, candy, and spooky fun, it's important to remember safety comes first. This year, the Laredo Police Department is joining forces with a very special guest, Michael Myers, to share essential safety tips for a frightfully fun Halloween.
Michael Myers' Halloween Safety Tips (From Beyond the Grave)
Michael Myers, known for his quiet demeanor and unwavering pursuit, has a few things to say about safety on Halloween:
- Stay Calm and Visible: Don't let your excitement turn into a panicked frenzy. Be mindful of your surroundings and wear reflective clothing or accessories to stay visible, especially in dimly lit areas.
- Avoid Dark and Isolated Areas: Like Michael, shadows are your enemy! Stick to well-lit and populated streets and avoid venturing into dark alleys or isolated spots.
- Don't Trust Strangers (Especially Masked Ones): While Michael might seem friendly, remember not all masked figures are safe. Stick with a trusted adult and never accept treats from strangers.
Laredo Police Department's Safety Advice
The Laredo Police Department echoes Michael's words and adds these vital tips:
- Plan Your Route: Before heading out, map out your route and communicate it with your parents or guardians.
- Walk on Sidewalks: Whenever possible, stay on sidewalks and cross at designated crosswalks.
- Look Before You Cross: Always check for oncoming traffic before crossing the street, even in crosswalks.
- Don't Be Afraid to Say No: If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, don't hesitate to say no to strangers or politely decline any unwanted interactions.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you see something that doesn't feel right, report it to a trusted adult or the police.
