(From the Joplin Police Department)It’s important to navigate Halloween festivities with safety in mind. Here’s what you can do:
• Trusted adults should accompany young children at all times on a planned route
• Older kids: Use the buddy system; stay in well-lit, familiar areas
• Only approach homes with porch lights on.
• Cross streets only after looking both ways.
• Drivers: Navigate your route slowly and stay alert for trick-or-treaters.
• Make sure children know how to reach an adult in an emergency.
For added safety, visit the Missouri State Highway Patrol sex offender registry to stay informed about any registered offenders along your route. https://www.mshp.dps.mo.gov/CJ38/AreaSearch
