Fort Lauderdale, FL – The Broward Sheriff’s Office is reminding families to stay alert this Halloween night, emphasizing visibility, caution, and candy safety for trick-or-treaters across Broward County.
According to a social media post shared Friday, deputies encouraged parents and children to follow key safety steps before heading out for Halloween fun. Officials advised trick-or-treaters to look both ways before crossing streets, wear visible or reflective clothing, and stick to well-lit homes — while avoiding entering any residences.
The Sheriff’s Office also warned against accepting open or unwrapped candy and reminded parents to inspect all treats before allowing children to eat them.
The department’s post struck a lighthearted tone — referencing donuts, candy, and costumes — but underscored that safety should always come first during one of the busiest pedestrian nights of the year.
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity and drive carefully through neighborhoods this evening as families celebrate Halloween.
