It’s almost time for trick-or-treating, and Andalusia Police Chief Paul Hudson reminds locals who want to participate to respect the hours set in each community, and to follow basic safety rules.

• Trick or Treat in neighborhoods and at houses you are familiar with.
• Make sure your mask does not obscure your vision.
• Carry a flashlight if you’re going to be out after dark.
• Do not walk in the streets. Stay on the sidewalks.
• Be very careful crossing the streets and watch for on-coming traffic.
• Let your parents check your treats to make sure they are safe before eating them.
• Parents, do not let small children Trick or Treat on their own.
• Drivers: watch for Trick or Treater crossing the streets.
• Do not block traffic by parking the in middle of the street.
• Drive slower than the speed limit so you will have time to see and react.
