With the City\u2019s official Halloween trick-or-treat hours set for 5-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, October 31, Frankfort Police are offering safety tips for trick-or-treaters that night.<\/p>\n

According to Police Chief Troy Bacon, ghosts, witches, super heroes and goblins of all ages are encouraged to take the following precautions to help ensure a safe evening: choose a well-lit path of travel, only visit homes of those you know and who have porch lights on and travel in groups of four or five.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also encourage everyone to wear reflective clothing and make sure costumes are fire resistant. Always walk \u2013 don\u2019t run \u2013 and look both ways when crossing the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we always encourage motorists to be aware of their surroundings, on Halloween in particular, we ask drivers to pay extra attention for youngsters crossing the street or darting out between cars. This is an evening with a great deal of extra foot traffic happening and we want everyone \u2013 in and out of costumes \u2013 to be safe,\u201d Bacon said.<\/p>\n

During trick-or-treat hours, Frankfort police officers will be handing out candy at the Police Department located at 201 W Washington Street<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
