General Halloween Information 2016

TRAVERSE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT

Halloween will be celebrated on Monday, October 31, 2016, within the city limits of Traverse City.  The Trick-or-Treating hours will be from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

We ask the participating city residents to please turn porch lights on promptly at 5:00 p.m. and turn them off promptly at 8:00 p.m. 

The National Confectioners Association and the Chocolate Manufacturers Association have established the following safety tips to help make this Halloween a safe and enjoyable holiday for our children.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

COSTUME SAFETY:

  • Use make-up or face paint instead of masks, but if masks are used, make sure they fit properly and have holes large enough for mouth and eyes.
  • Choose costumes that are marked flame retardant.
  • Wear light-colored clothing at night, short enough to prevent tripping.   Add reflective tape or reflectors to dark colored costumes. 
  • Make props such as daggers or swords out of cardboard, rather than metal or wood. 

TRICK-OR-TREATING SAFETY:

  • Give and accept wrapped or packaged candy only.
  • Have children bring treats home for adult inspection before they are eaten. 
  •  Adults should accompany small and elementary school age children when they are trick-or-treating and send older children in groups.
  • Go out in daylight and carry a flashlight in case of delay.
  • Have children stay within the neighborhood; only visit homes you know.
  • Watch for traffic.
  • Keep costumed children away from pets.  The pet may not recognize the children and become frightened.

Have a safe and scary Halloween!!!
