The Fairfield Police Department offers the following tips for trick-or-treaters and drivers on Halloween.

• Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.

• Plan a trick-or-treating route in familiar neighborhoods with well-lit streets.

• Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.• Walk younger children to the door to receive treats.
