DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – As families across the Wiregrass prepare for Halloween festivities, the Dothan Police Department is reminding residents to stay safe while trick-or-treating tonight.
Officials encourage parents and children to plan their routes ahead of time, stay in well-lit areas, and walk on sidewalks whenever possible. Costumes should be safe and easy to move in, avoiding tripping hazards or anything that could catch fire.
Police also recommend that children go out with family or friends, wear bright or reflective clothing, and carry a flashlight or glow stick to increase visibility after dark. Parents are urged to check candy before it’s eaten and remain cautious around strangers.
“Be safe and have fun tonight,” the department said in its Halloween message.
The Dothan Police Department wishes everyone a spooktacular and safe Halloween.
