Don’t let safety disappear this Halloween, Gilbert! 🎃✨
A few simple steps can help keep your neighborhood safe.
Costumes 🚨
• Choose bright or reflective costumes
• Use face paint instead of vision‑blocking masks
• Pick flame‑resistant materials
• Avoid long/baggy outfits that cause tripping
Trick‑or‑Treating 🚨
• Stick to well-lit neighborhoods and use sidewalks
• Young children should be with a parent or responsible adult
• Equip kids with flashlights, glow sticks, or reflective gear
• Inspect all candy — toss anything unwrapped, damaged, or suspicious
• Keep pets safely indoors with ID tags
Drivers: Stay Alert 🚨
• Slow down in residential areas
• Watch for kids crossing streets
• Back out of driveways carefully
• Never drive under the influence
Fall Safety Enforcement 🚨
Gilbert PD will continue efforts focused on underage drinking, curfew violations, and unruly gatherings.
➡️ What’s an “unruly gathering”?

• Encourage open conversations about safety
• Remind teens: Report threats or violence — don’t repost them
