Troopers from the Indiana State Police ask parents to ensure children have a flashlight, glow stick, or reflective material on their costume so they can be seen clearly.

Children should always be accompanied by an adult or use a buddy system.  Have a plan if groups get separated. It is recommended that children trick-or-treat at homes that have an outdoor light on.  They should never enter the home of a stranger.  Treats should be inspected by adults before being consumed.

Drivers should slow down and travel with caution during trick-or-treat hours.
