Larimer County, CO – As Halloween celebrations begin across Larimer County, the Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents to stay alert, lock up, and drive responsibly.
According to a statement posted Friday afternoon, deputies are emphasizing five key safety steps for Halloween night: lock before you walk, stay to the light, look out for each other, drop the distractions, and drive sober.
Officials advise homeowners and partygoers alike to secure their property before heading out. “Protect your home and property from burgling banshees,” the post reads, encouraging residents to lock doors, close garages, and keep vehicles secure.
Deputies also urge trick-or-treaters to wear reflective clothing, stick to sidewalks, and visit only well-lit homes. Drivers are asked to watch carefully for pedestrians and reduce distractions, while partygoers are reminded to have a designated driver before celebrating.
“Impaired driving is dangerous, and there’s nothing fun about ending your night in jail or the morgue,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote.
Authorities encourage everyone to enjoy the night safely, wear warm layers, and contact law enforcement if assistance is needed.
