CHICOPEE, Mass. – Halloween is meant to be a fun night for everyone, but the Chicopee Police Department said people need to remember to keep it a safe one too.
What You Need To Know
- Chicopee Police urge parents trick or treating with their kids on Halloween to make sure they have flashlights or glow sticks so that they’re visible to oncoming traffic
- Chicopee Police encourage parents of adolescents who maybe trick or treating without supervision to be aware of what areas their kids are going to and to only knock on doors with lights on
- Chicopee Police are also asking drivers to slow down in heavily populated areas because kids are going to be out and very excited as well
- Chicopee Police say while there are no designated hours for trick or treating in the city, people who choose to go out should make sure to stay in well-lit areas
“If you’re out with your kids, make sure they have flashlights or glow sticks so that they’re visible to oncoming traffic,” said Chicopee Public Information Officer Travis Odiorne. “Try to cross on the crosswalks if possible. I know kids get eager they want candy they want to run across the street, just try to avoid stepping out between parked cars because if your kids are a little short and cars are coming down the road, they may not see them as they poke out from around the bumper.”
