Collier County sheriff’s deputies are working hard this week to make sure area children have a safe and enjoyable Halloween.
Throughout the week deputies assigned to schools will be talking to students about safe trick-or-treating practices. Students will learn that they should travel in groups, wear reflective costumes and only stop at well-lit houses, among other things.
On Halloween night, deputies will be out in force in Collier County neighborhoods to help ensure that trick-or-treaters are safe. They’ll be patrolling in cars and walking residential streets. Along with interacting with parents and children they’ll be on the lookout for possible problems including gangs and sexual offenders.
In addition, the agency will post Halloween safety tips throughout the week on colliersheriff.org.
