Montgomery County, TX – With Halloween celebrations kicking off across Montgomery County, the Sheriff’s Office is reminding parents and children to keep safety top of mind while trick-or-treating tonight.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, visibility and vigilance are key to a safe evening. Deputies are urging families to “light up like a Christmas tree” by using glow sticks, flashlights, or reflective gear so drivers can spot trick-or-treaters easily.
Officials also recommend that children travel in groups, stay on sidewalks, and only visit well-lit homes. Parents are encouraged to check all candy before children indulge, watching for anything unwrapped or suspicious.
Residents are also reminded to respect neighborhoods by sticking to designated trick-or-treat areas and avoiding dark houses. “Stay alert, keep your phone down, and focus on the next sugar score,” deputies advised in a lighthearted post shared Thursday afternoon.
Finally, the Sheriff’s Office issued a serious reminder for adults: don’t drink and drive. “You really don’t want to spend your haunted night in our ‘spooktacular’ slammer,” the department joked, adding that their coffee and striped jumpsuits aren’t worth the risk.
The department wishes everyone a fun, safe, and candy-filled Halloween night.
