With Halloween celebrations underway, the Indiana State Police Jasper Post is reminding families to stay safe while trick-or-treating. Troopers urge parents and children to plan ahead, know local trick-or-treat hours, and use flashlights, glow sticks, or reflective materials to stay visible after dark. Children should always trick-or-treat with an adult, stay on sidewalks, cross streets carefully, and only visit homes with porch lights on. Police also remind families to have an adult check all candy before eating it and for drivers to slow down and stay alert for pedestrians. State Police say these simple precautions can help ensure everyone enjoys a fun and safe Halloween night.
