Halloween Safety Tips
• Costumes should fit correctly so kids won't trip on them. Wear light-colored costumes to be seen at night.
• Kids should not try to Trick or Treat by themselves. They should go with an adult and a group of friends
• Map out where you and your friends will be going. Visit only the well-lighted houses.
• Try to Trick-or-Treat while it is still light out; always bring a flashlight, it may get dark.
Wear a reflective costume or stickers.
• Pick well-lighted streets. Walk on the sidewalks. Do not take shortcuts or alleys!
• Only accept candy at a person's front door. Do not go inside of a house or into someone's car.
• Have a back-up plan in case you get separated from your group. Carry a cell phone, walkie-talkie or money for a pay phone, and the number of a trusted adult.
• Don't eat any candy until you get home. Have an adult check to make sure there are no tricks in your treats! If there is any suspicious candy, contact your local police station.
SAN FRANCISCO POLICE URGE SAFETY AWARENESS
San Francisco police are urging the public to be vigilant about their safety in public, particularly when using Muni.
• While on Muni vehicles and at Muni bus stops and platforms, citizens are urged to be vigilant about their surroundings and to note any suspicious activity. While on Muni buses, be wary of persons standing especially close or jostling, which may indicate a possible pickpocket or robbery attempt. While waiting for a bus, try to be at a location where there are other persons waiting with you. If you are the only person waiting, go to another stop where there are others waiting. Be aware of pick-pockets. An old San Francisco trick to guard against pickpockets is to wrap a rubber band around your wallet and place your wallet in your pocket as the rubber will catch on your clothing. Its time tested. It will drive the crooks - pickpockets crazy. Plus you will always have a rubber band. Be alert...
• Be especially careful when using electronic devices on transit vehicles. Opportunist criminals know that a person talking on a cell phone, listening to an I-Pod, or texting, is distracted and thus an easy target. Try to avoid using any electronic device while seated or standing near the rear exit of a transit vehicle, since this door provides a quick exit for grab-and-run suspects.
• If it essential for you to use an electronic device on the street, be aware that you may be a target for theft. Opportunist criminals, sometimes operating in groups, look for people using these devices and often will approach a victim from behind, knowing that the person talking on a cell phone, texting, or using an i-Pod is distracted. Some of these criminals could be armed. Do not be so preoccupied that you become unaware of your surroundings and not notice a person or persons nearby acting suspiciously.
