Police Scotland Day 214, Year 2 - Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Police Scotland!

You might be all set for Halloween tonight, but have you thought about safety yet? Remember to consider the following, and if you’re a parent please share this advice with your children…

• Stay in well-lit areas and consider carrying a torch.
• Don't frighten elderly people or younger children.
• Don't enter a house unless you know the person. Young children should always be with an adult. Older children should ensure they are with friends.
• If a sign says 'No trick or treat', respect that person's wishes and move on.
• Be visible, it will be dark and it's important that passing traffic can see you.
• If you have a mobile phone make sure you look after it so that parents/guardian can keep in touch.
• Tell your parents or guardian where you are going and what time you will be back.
• If you are given money keep it hidden away in a wallet or clothing.
• Remember that it might be raining so wear appropriate clothing that keeps you dry but still lets you show off your costume.

Have a great evening!
