✅ Safety & Courtesy Tips (Quick Checklist)

Before heading out

• Costumes should fit, be flame-resistant, and not block vision. Add reflective tape or carry glow sticks.

• Plan a well-lit, familiar route; young kids go with an adult, older kids go in groups.

While out

• Use sidewalks; if none, walk facing traffic. Cross at corners/crosswalks.

• Carry a flashlight or use lights on costume/bag.

For drivers & hosts

• Drive slowly in neighborhoods; expect kids after dusk.

• Keep walkways well-lit and clear; secure pets.

• If you hand out candy, keep paths hazard-free and visible.

APD specifically urges reflectivity/visibility, parent supervision, treat-checking, and wrapping up by 9 PM inside Albany city limits.
