Safety Tips

The DeKalb Police Department recommends the following tips to keep children safe during Halloween:

• Young children should Trick or Treat with an adult
• Older children should Trick or Treat in large groups
• Children should walk on the sidewalk NOT in the street
• Children should cross the street at intersections or crosswalks
• Children should wear reflective clothing and carry flashlights or glow sticks
• Children should NOT wear all black clothing, this makes them virtually invisible to drivers
• Children should stay on the step and NOT enter a stranger’s home for ANY reason
• Parents should inspect their child’s candy before consuming

Caution to Drivers:

• Drive slow and be on the look-out for young children
• Enter & Exit drive ways slowly and carefully
• Do NOT be distracted inside your vehicle with your radio, cell phone or other item.

Have a Safe & Happy Halloween!

Bonus: Today is appropriately also national Knock Knock Joke Day and National Doorbell Day.

So in honor of those two things, here is a knock knock joke:

Knock knock!
Who’s there?
Nobel
Nobel who?
Nobel is working, so I had to knock
