With Halloween on the horizon, police want everyone in the Cariboo to have a safe and spooktacular time.
They remind drivers to slow down in areas where trick-or-treaters are out and to be ready for kids crossing at unexpected places.
Make sure your costume doesn’t interfere with being able to see clearly or operate your vehicle.
And most importantly, have a backup plan in case you have too much to drink and cannot drive yourself home.
For the wee ones, police remind parents to make sure that their child can walk in their costume without tripping.
Wear a bright costume to heighten visibility, stay on the sidewalks and make sure you are crossing at the corners.
Let people know your trick-or-treating route and carry a cell phone with you in case of emergency.
Police want to make sure that everyone has fun this Halloween while staying safe.
