Laredo Police and Michael Myers Share Safety Tips (You Read That Right!)

It's that time of year again – the air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and… the masked killer Michael Myers is back on the big screen. While most of us are content with enjoying the thrills and chills of horror movies, Laredo Police Department wants to remind everyone that safety is a year-round concern.

This Halloween season, the Laredo PD is joining forces with the iconic (and terrifying) Michael Myers to share some important safety tips for everyone to keep in mind.

Think You're Safe? Think Again!

While Michael Myers might be a fictional character, the dangers he represents are very real. Here's what Laredo Police and Michael Myers want you to know:

Staying Safe on Halloween

• Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Whether you're trick-or-treating, attending a party, or simply walking home from work, stay alert. Michael Myers lurks in the shadows, and so do real-world dangers.
• Don't Walk Alone: Always try to travel in groups, especially at night. If you must walk alone, let someone know your route and expected return time.
• Trust Your Instincts: If you feel unsafe, get away from the situation. Don't hesitate to call for help.
• Avoid Dark and Isolated Areas: Michael Myers likes to hide in the dark. Choose well-lit and populated areas for your activities.
• Be Mindful of Your Drinks: At parties, never leave your drink unattended. This applies to both adults and children.
• Keep Valuables Hidden: While you might be tempted to show off your costume, remember to keep your valuables out of sight.

Tips for Trick-or-Treating

• Stay on the Sidewalk: When trick-or-treating, always walk on the sidewalk and cross at designated crosswalks.
• Wear Reflective Clothing: Bright and reflective clothing helps drivers see you better.
• Don't Accept Food from Strangers: This rule should be followed year-round, but it's especially important on Halloween.
• Carry a Flashlight: A flashlight can help you see in the dark and signal for help.
• Set a Curfew: Establish a reasonable curfew for trick-or-treating and make sure your children stick to it.

The Bottom Line:

Whether you're celebrating Halloween with a scary movie marathon or a night of trick-or-treating, remember that safety should always be a priority.

Stay informed, be aware, and enjoy the festivities!

And remember, even Michael Myers approves of these safety tips. He just wants to make sure everyone survives the night!
