LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Families who plan to trick-or-treat Saturday should wear bright or reflective clothing, according to Kasie Davis, public information officer for the Lubbock Police Department.<\/p>\n
Wear bright or reflective clothing<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst and foremost, wear some sort of bright or reflective costumes or clothing because if you are going to be out walking in a neighborhood on streets on sidewalks, we just want to make sure that any vehicles in the area, the drivers of those vehicles are able to see you,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n
A glow stick or flashlight also works for those without reflective gear.<\/p>\n
Davis said both drivers and walkers need to watch out for each other.<\/p>\n
Travel in small groups<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother important tip is try to travel in a small group, right? We don\u2019t want necessarily herds of folks traveling, but maybe a group of five to six people,\u201d Davis said. \u201cAgain, that makes it easier for motorists to see those trick or treaters, the parents. That\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davis also said people should look both ways before crossing the street.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis seems like very basic information, but these are good tips to remember as we start to get into the Halloween weekend,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Pick a meeting spot and check candy<\/p>\n
For families with young children, Davis suggested picking a meeting spot in case they get separated.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s similar to if you\u2019re going out at a concert or the South Plains Fair, whatever the case may be, you know, always plan that rendezvous point just so you have a location where you know you can meet up,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n
Families also may want to check every piece of candy before anyone takes a bite. Anything that does not look right should be thrown away.<\/p>\n
Saturday plans<\/p>\n
Texas Tech also plays Saturday. Davis suggested trick-or-treating earlier in the evening.<\/p>\n
Several trunk-or-treats are planned around Lubbock for those who prefer to skip the streets.<\/p>\n
Reporting suspicious activity<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the Lubbock Police Department, we want people to enjoy their Halloween, but we want them to enjoy it safely,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n
People who see something suspicious can call the department\u2019s non-emergency line.<\/p>\n
