Troy, OH – Miami County is gearing up for Halloween fun this Thursday, October 30, as trick-or-treat night runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. across local neighborhoods and villages. The Miami County Sheriff’s Office announced that deputies will be out handing out candy during the event — look for patrol cars marked with stars.
According to the sheriff’s office, the goal is to keep families safe while making Halloween enjoyable for children. Sheriff David Duchak reminded parents and guardians to stay alert, accompany younger trick-or-treaters, and ensure costumes are flame-resistant and visible after dark.
The department’s safety bulletin encourages families to use reflective clothing or glow sticks, check local law enforcement websites for registered offenders, and remind children to stay in well-lit areas. Parents are also advised to inspect candy before allowing kids to eat it and to teach children to say no and get away from any uncomfortable situations.
Residents are urged to drive carefully during the two-hour window and watch for trick-or-treaters crossing streets. For those seeking additional guidance, the sheriff’s office website — miamicountysheriff.org — offers resources on registered offenders and child safety tips.
Halloween celebrations and community events will also be taking place across Miami County throughout the week.
