Reston Citizen

The Fairfax County Police Department wants to remind residents of some common sense ideas to be safe on Halloween, and for the rest of the year.

• Walk in the crosswalk or corner of a road. Don’t cross between to parked cars, and look both ways.
• Young children need an adult with them, older children should tell parents their route, and bring a cell phone
• Only visit house with lights on.
• It’s best to eat only individually wrapped candies, and homemade candies should only be taken from people you know.
• Wear a costume that is easy to see out of, doesn’t impair walking, and brightly lit.
• Lastly, gas and alcohol don’t mix.

And of course don’t forget to have fun!
