The Carson City Sheriff’s Office issued a reminder for residents to be cautious as Halloween approaches. Halloween will be celebrated in Carson City on Friday.

If a child is trick-or-treating, parents should check treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped or suspicious items. While trick-or-treating, if a residence has their lights off, respect their privacy and don’t disturb the residence as not everyone may be participating in giving out treats.

If residents bring their pets out with them, keep them restrained so they don’t get out into traffic. If pets stay at home, it’s recommended to keep them inside so they aren’t teased or given a “treat” that may be harmful to them such as chocolate.

The streets of Carson City will be filled with people young and old and drivers need to be aware and cautious while on the road.

“Please watch for children as you drive,” Sheriff Ken Furlong said in a press release. “The streets will be dark and can be slick should the weather change. Children may dart out unexpectedly, so drive carefully”.
