Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween is one of the most popular and one of the most dangerous holidays of the year. The actual Halloween this year is officially this coming Sunday but be prepared because some local civic organizations start their celebration of “All Hallows Night” tomorrow evening.

Beloit Police Chief Ryan Stocker says there are some common sense things parents should do this weekend when their children are out Trick or Treating.

Stocker also wants to remind those who are more interested in the “Trick” part of the ghoulish holiday celebration, to not cross the line between fun and a criminal offense.
