Millbrook – Halloween festivities will be observed tomorrow night, October 31, 2023, in the City of Millbrook. The Millbrook Police Department will have extra personnel on duty, patrolling neighborhoods to ensure the safety of our citizens participating in the time-honored tradition of trick or treating. For those participating, we request that Trick or Treating activities be concluded by 8 p.m., keeping in mind that it is a weeknight, with many people having to work the following day. For the safety of all concerned, we offer the following safety tips/suggestions:
Please make sure that all children have adequate adult supervision.
Participants should wear reflective clothing and have an adequate light source to ensure visibility.
Check all candy or other treats prior to allowing children to consume them.
Any packages that appear to have been opened or tampered with should be discarded unless parents are familiar with their origin and trust the source.
All vehicles that are utilized for trick or treating should be equipped with adequate lighting and be legal to operate on City Streets.
Millbrook Police Chief P.K. Johnson said, “For those who participate, Halloween is a fun time for children, who get to dress up as their favorite superhero, television star, or maybe even a ghost or goblin. The Millbrook Police Department will have extra personnel on duty to ensure that those who chose to participate in the time-honored tradition of trick or treating will have a safe environment to enjoy their experience. We ask that those who participate, to do so in a safe and cautious manner and that our motoring public be mindful that there will be a number of children and parents traversing our residential areas on foot, so please slow down, be observant and drive defensively. We want everyone involved to have an enjoyable and safe experience. We look forward to seeing all the kids out tomorrow night and wish all our citizens a Safe and Happy Halloween!”
